We like the small cosy place at Elm Lodge, and it is very close to shops and Woolworths. Host was very prompt in communicating check-in instructions. However there were a few things which would have made it a more enjoyable stay- First, there is no kitchen exhaust so be careful not to cook anything too strong otherwise you can get charged extra. The washer and dryer specified in the listing is abit misleading because they are prepay machines in the common area and not part of the rental so make sure you bring your $1 coins. Second, there are no bin bags provided(not even 1 since we’re staying just two nights) so make sure you bring your own bin bags. Thirdly we are a family of 5 but only two towels was provided, thankfully we brought our own so make sure you bring your own towel too. Overall I wouldn’t recommend for a family with more than 1 young children but would be easy for adults or older kids as you can always eat out. Love the laminate flooring in the bathroom so it’s not slippery when you’re out of the shower but the whole place is seen to be quite dated and weary, so it desperately needs some TLC. I would suggest amending the listing to actually specify coin washer and dryer so renters like us knows what to expect when we arrive.
