Peninsular hot springs was great.Loved the position & cleanliness of Horizon. If would like suggestions for Improvement, the beds need improving as not comfortable. There is also either rats or possums in the ceiling as heard them late one night running around.

As a host and an experienced traveller these are the worst Property Managers I have dealt with. They show a complete lack of care towards their guests. They were not upfront about an issue with the previous guests which delayed our checkin by 3 hours and ruined our first day. They refused to offer a refund until I said I was going to pursue the matter through VRBO. Eventually they agreed to offer 200 which though I thought was inadequate, I agreed to. They then requested a 5 star review and said they would only pay the refund after I had posted my review. I pointed out that that was contrary to VRBO policy whereby they then paid although continuing to deny they were obliged to. The property is tired and needs a deep clean. The mat in the ensuite was stained and needs to be thrown out. There were no rubbish tins in the bathrooms and no cleaning done behind drawers and the sofa. The main bedroom is darkly lit as it has no direct window - only through the ensuite. On the positive side the property is well located, has a lovely view and is well stocked with kitchenware. I stayed in another property across the road 3 months earlier and that was much better value, being newer and the Property Managers were much more focussed on guest satisfaction.

Hi William,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry that your check-in experience was not as smooth as it should have been. Unfortunately, the previous guest left the home requiring additional cleaning beyond the standard turnaround, and while we communicated this delay we also did provide access for you to leave your luggage inside and use of the outdoor area whilst waiting for the house to be clean and ready for you. There was only a delay of two hours.
Our intention is always to be transparent and resolve any issues as quickly as possible. In this instance, we provided a partial refund along with a complimentary late checkout to make up for the inconvenience, which we felt was a fair and reasonable resolution.
We do appreciate your positive comments regarding the location, views, and kitchen facilities, and we’re pleased these aspects of the home were enjoyed.
We had a fantastic stay at this property. The location was perfect. Walked to the shops within seconds and had very easy access to both beaches. The place was well kept and had excellent appliances. We had a very relaxing trip. Highly recommend it.
