Needs a good tidy up...
The location is A1. So close to the beach, playground and town. Good sized yard, off street parking and quiet location considering considering proximity to township. Downside...it feels unclean and unkept. Flyscreens would be great to keep all the critters out or an air conditioner so that it's not so hot with the windows closed (the portable air-con supplied was useless). I read the reviews before staying and the "bad couches" were heavily mentioned...and they are as previously reviewed...TERRIBLE!
