Apr 20, 2025 #### Great location, spacious and neat. Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. 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: We had a great time here. The unit is very spacious and we loved it. Location amazing. Only issues were lots of little spiders and wasn't cleaned properly- lots of daddy long legs, bathroom mirror very dirty, lots of surface dust and dirt. Scourers we were meant to use under kitchen sink were already very well used ao chucked them. Maybe supply clean chux? Easily fixed but just a note for property managers to follow up. Would definitely stay again! ##### E M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Nov 13, 2024 #### WARATAH LANE ACCOM.

Reviewer Comments: I rented 2/4 Waratah Lane, Evans Head for family after Xmas. Location was great but overall they weren’t happy with it. They were dissatisfied with the general condition of the place. Only one air-conditioner in lounge in the whole place no fans in Bedrooms. Not clean, rug on floor in lounge was dirty. Mould ipn washing machine. Had no problem with Property Management Team. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone till it was cleaned professionally and it needs fans or air conditioning installed in Bedrooms. ##### Yvonne P.

Reviewer Comments: Beautiful Villa lots of room , walking distance to shops clubs cafes . We had booked through an App another place to stay , received phone call from Elders when we were on our way that it had been double booked. They were very helpful and organised this Villa and linen. Luckily it wasn’t a time they were closed. Would stay here again Would use Elders directly when staying in Evans Head again. ##### Michael A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Stella-Island-Luxury-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h16508136.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Now-Sapphire-Riviera-Cancun.h866428.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near M&T Bank Stadium](https://www.expedia.ca/MT-Bank-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6058008-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Residence & Conference Centre - Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Residence-Conference-Centre-Windsor.h1349623.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Sheraton-Miyako-Hotel-Tokyo.h207.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Spray Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Sea-Spray-Inn.h17888620.Hotel-Information) > > [The Jordan Ramada by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-JordanBeacon-Harbourside-Resort.h191507.Hotel-Information) > > [KC's Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-KCs-Country-Inn.h8782416.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Curaçao](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6143269-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near College St at University Ave Stop](https://www.expedia.ca/College-St-At-University-Ave-Stop-Hotels.d553248635997723159.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d8957-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motel 6 Saanichton, BC - Victoria Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Motel-6-Saanichton.h33111039.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gander (YQX) to Deer Lake (YDF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqx/ydf/gander-to-deer-lake) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ylw/winnipeg-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Atlanta (ATL) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atl/sea/atlanta-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yyc/kitchener-to-calgary) > > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Tunis (TUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/tun/barcelona-to-tunis) > > [Flights from Lima (LIM) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lim/sjo/lima-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Philadelphia (PHL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/phl/montreal-to-philadelphia) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paita (NOU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nou/toronto-to-noumea) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Pearson-Intl.d5921113.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Strip Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip.d800045.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
