Underwhelming, no wi-fi & poorly maintained

Super disappointed with our stay. Whilst the size of the property and location was excellent the overall condition of the property was a real let down. The house doesn’t appear to be occupied (currently for sale) and therefore doesn’t have the cleanliness or functionality that you’d expect for a house tailored to accommodate 8 people or listed as a holiday home. The property needs a deep clean. We felt we had to wash glasses, plates etc before use due to the state of cupboards/ draws. The bedding is well worn and used, and house lacks basic supplies (peeler, strainer, rubbish bin, brooms, dust pans, hairdryers, Pantry staples etc) There was no wifi (kids were unable to watch movies) no pool table or games room as advertised. Host was followed up about wifi however there was no response. The downstairs furniture was 2 partial functional/ broken couches. Owners need to clean and spend on updating linens, kitchen, decor etc if they want to charge premium rates.

About the host

Hosted by Emma

Our family has loved living here over the past 15 years. When the children were younger, we would go to the Bakehouse in Portarlington and meet with friends for coffee while the kids would play. We have moved to Drysdale to small acreage and are excited about being able to share our home with guests.

Why they chose this property

It is awesome to be able to see if the tide is in our out from the dining room, then walk over to the beach for a swim and a play. Easy to wander back at any time and hop straight in the shower. Go for a daily walk along the beach and if the time is right, you can see what looks like a ship crossing the road.

What makes this property unique

Location, location.
Just a very, very short stroll to the beach, and a short drive to Portarlington...and Daniel's Donuts. Enjoy lunch at the local wineries, or take the kids to Adventure Park, just a 20 minute drive.
