Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Was okay The listing has cleverly taken photos as to not show that the owners are right on top of you giving no privacy at all. They drive right past the lounge and bedroom space making it uncomfortable. The listing notes a BBQ however, the only BBQ is a coal one with none of the equipment available for use. The spa had a warning light flashing saying water was 158 days overdue for change so we did not use.There was a small dog also wandering around barking at our children. So while the space is nice and view is amazing the listing is very mis-leading. ##### Luke F.
