### Triple Tui - Log cabin, self contained, river side

4/10 Poor

"4x4 Vehicle access only unless you want to carry your bags 300m, including over a 50m 2 x plank & wire swing bridge. This is not in listing. Host has a 2 person seater 4x4 & said he only offers rides for 3+ night bookings & complained doing this for visitors damages his vehicle! When he reluctantly offered a lift out as I had a broken ankle & we commented that we felt he was prioritising his vehicle over us, there was no apology for the inconvenience, just a tirade of abuse as he started swearing & using very personal & rude profanities. Note check in time was advertised as 11 am but he was adamant we should be "off his property by 10 am". A beautiful property spoiled by terrible host."

### Sunny, Private Cottage in St Arnaud

6/10 Okay

"The cottage is in a beautiful and peaceful location, and the surrounding nature is lovely. However, our check-in experience was a bit stressful. We arrived around 5pm but were unable to reach the host initially. After some time, she called back and mentioned that she had forgotten to send the check-in instructions with the key information. There were also quite a number of house rules and requirements after arrival that were not clearly stated on the booking page. For example, the washing machine is not available for short-stay guests. Check-in itself was simple once we received the instructions, but check-out requires guests to complete quite extensive cleaning. We did our best to leave the place tidy, but the cleaning took quite a bit of time and delayed our next travel plans. It may be helpful for future guests if these expectations are clearly outlined on the listing in advance 我們大概入住五點多，房東聯繫不到，然後過了一陣子她才回撥回來，然後才說他忘記把入住的鑰匙訊息傳給我 入住後的注意事項非常多，所有項目都應該要在平台頁面就要揭露，像是洗衣機其實不提供給短租客人使用 入住非常簡單，離開要自己打掃全部，我覺得我們整理得蠻乾淨的，但確實整個清潔花了我們不少時間，影響下一個行程"
