Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful bush outlook Outdoor deck is great for relaxed evenings ##### Vanessa D. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### sianmyfanwy Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Old fashioned beach house It’s old school as described but we didn’t expect it to be as dusty as it was, I could write my name in my daughter’s bedside table. Also we stayed there on 30 to 33 degree days and the freestanding air con and pedestal fans didn’t do anything to cool the place down. We found it hard to sleep at night and didn’t spend much time in the house. ##### sianmyfanwy Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wolfgang M. Nov 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Short stay at old school yesteryear We arrived late in the afternoon. We didn't notic that there was more space on the left hand side of the house but will know for next time. We spent some time looking for the dishwasher but there wasn't one. Maybe the note on the fridge could be updated ##### Wolfgang M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### jerry d. Nov 7, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The house was filthy. The fridge had old food in it and so did the freezer. There was no heating and they only left one electric heater to heat the whole house and it’s 4 rooms. The bedding was dusty and there were more mosquitoes inside the house then outside ##### jerry d.
