The property was presented lovely and clean. The kitchen was full of everything we need to cook for our large group. Heating was great (didn't need heaters on in the nedrooms at night) and felt very cosy. Bedrooms were as described and plenty of space to spread out.The location felt private and the view was incredible. Saw lots of widelife, even a wombat at the door!Definately enjoyed the stay!

Our getaway

perfect for our group of 7. Kitchen worked well and the fire in the lounge area was welcome.We had to buy more kindling to start the fire but there was a ton of logs. Outdoor area was lovely sitting in the sun on the only day that was warm enough.The view from the rooms was delightful.A happy stay.

Great House / Great View

Extra-large, comfy and very clean house. Suits large family or large groups. Plenty of room, large kitchen and great lounge areas. Nice quiet court location. We had a six man work team working various shifts. We were able to split the team into various rooms ensuring everyone enjoyed a good day or night's sleep.

Waterfront Property with beautiful views

Overall property wonderful. Interior very clean and presented beautifully. Suggest: deep steps on the outside decking, leading to the sitting and bbq areas should have balustrades. We believe this is potentially an OHS issues (falls for children or adults) Unfortunately no access to the waterfront nor, walking tracks available.

Arukah accomodation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Arukah is situated in a private location, offers good parking spaces and sufficient bedrooms, beddings and lounge spaces, the wood heater is sufficient to warm the whole house and provision of heaters in the bedrooms. Perhaps a coffee maker, portable cooktop for seafood cooking and trolley to haul belongings from car park will be a plus to amenities

Fabulous place to escape to

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Super quiet beautiful property tucked away from the centre of town (but within an easy drive) Gorgeous water views from every room including all bedrooms.Heaps of bird life to watch from the expansive windows.Well appointed property for catering large numbers.Lovely extra touches provided. A wonderful place for a 40 year reunion, but would suit large families or a couple of families to share.Ate out for one meal at Sodafish and can highly recommend the chef’s tasting menu. Exquisite!

Charged me for fly screens damage by dog. I didn't have

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very rainy weekend beautiful veiw but rain was pouring in through windows, seals on windows needed repairs. I was then charged for damage to fly screens apparently done by small animal, but we had no animals in the house and never touched any windows as it was an extremely wet cold weekend.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2022
We are sorry to hear of your review. As you may recall we spent extra time meeting you at the property the week prior to your stay for you to have a walk through and assign bedrooms for your group, some of your group are from the local area and were aware of the location of the property. After your departure we even returned some items that you left at the property to your home. We pride ourselves in being available to ensure guests stay are enjoyable and that any issues during our guest stay are addressed in a timely manner. At no time during your stay, or when we returned items, did you raise issues with us about the property condition.
