Sep 17, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolute disappointment For one the place falsely advertised it had working airconditioning but upon arrival this was not the case. The weekend we went away was freezing and when I contacted the Tea Gardens Real Estate they just didn't even seem to be bothered. They later called and admitted fault on the aircondioning stating 'A new one was meant to be installed ages ago' and then offered two small/broken heaters for four fully occupied rooms. The whole stay was severely uncomfortable due to the lack of heat. I tried contacting and emailing after my stay to discuss my issues and was simply ignored. I am absolutely disgusted and feel as though I can never trust Stayz again. ##### Elizabeth J.
