No security (door doesn’t lock?) & dirty

Unfortunately this property wasn’t up to expectations. It had a door that didn’t lock to the outside world, this is very concerning from a rule property in a wine/wedding region particularly knowing previous guests would’ve stayed in the home with the knowledge that this door doesn’t lock. The house was also dirty, I’m talking dirt all over the floors, bathroom wasn’t clean, bins were still full when we arrived and spiderwebs absolutely everywhere (We understand this is a country property and spiderwebs are inevitable but not a single windowsill had ever been web swept in its life it seemed). There is also no phone reception at all, which is fine, however no wifi is offered either which is a strange choice. Unfortunately it made the stay not very enjoyable & wouldn’t ever return.

Hello Rubie, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We also appreciate you letting us know in regards to the door during your stay, we did offer a tradesman to attend and repair but you declined our offer. I will pass on your feedback in regards to Wi-Fi. Thank you. Weekenda

Sleeping with spiders

While the property was located on a lovely property and has potential, our experience was far from good. There were spider webs and spiders (dead and alive) everywhere throughout the house including around the bed. No window coverings at all so getting our 5 month old baby to sleep during the day was next to impossible. This is not mentioned in the property description. We could only stay for one of the five nights we booked due to these issues. We were very worried about all the spiders and the safety of our baby. Correspondence since leaving the property early has been poor. Currently disputing that the property was not up to a reasonable living standard. We have never been unhappy with any other rental properties before, however our experience needed to be shared.

Hi Matt, we can completely respect your opinion regards the condition of the property. Whilst Corymbia is loved for its rustic approach, serine bushland setting and simplicity, the level of outside 'visitors' seem excessive from the evidence you provided. We have discussed your concerns with the owner & we have since worked to repair/fill the visible gaps around window frames, provide the property with a spring clean to remove the excess cobwebs & also provided a professional pest control spray to the internal areas. This has gone a long way to decrease the volume of outside 'visitors'. I am sorry you weren't afforded this condition for your stay. At the time of your feedback we were unable to find any record of you contacting us on the 3rd or 4th of January to report these concerns. Our office is contactable 24/7 via the main office line as advised in all confirmations and pre-arrival communications. If that had of occurred, we would have immediately arranged our maintenance team to attend and address where feasible. It is disappointing we were not given this opportunity which could of enabled you to enjoy the full duration of your originally intended reservation. We were first notified of your concerns at 5pm on the 5th January 2022. Without an opportunity to rectify issues during a stay, it is difficult to arrange solutions. I respect the conditions were not up to the usual Weekenda standard and had an impact on your comfort thus we provided a refund of 2 nights base accommodation charges being a total of $600 ($300 per night). A final apology for the experience your family had, far removed from our passion of providing quality accommodation. I can assure you we too, have taken from his experience and are addressing the issues to prevent future discomfort.

nice, but over priced

We can appreciate the story behind the property, however find it over priced for initially 1 Saturday night stay. whilst the firewood wasn't far it was difficult to get to once it became dark. Would have been nice to have some firewood at hand. the property itself s tranquil and very pretty

Thank you for the review, Luis! I will investigate the firewood as there should of been some inside for your stay, I do apologise! We hope to have you stay with Weekenda again.

Great Break From the Grind

Beautiful tranquil setting. A great escape from the daily grind. Close enough to all the Hunter Valley has to offer and far enough to escape and unwind. Totally off the grid so forget about your social media or TV. Lovely property
