First and most importantly, we had a really great time at the property. There is so much to explore and I could never get sick of the views. We so appreciated the freedom the owner gave us - we brought mini bikes and model airplanes and had a great time in the pool. Polen the host left us well alone but quick to respond to questions and messages. The incredible view in every direction, sitting around the fire pit and watching the stars, as well as feeding carrots to the animals, were the big highlights.
HOWEVER, while the house is nice enough, more attention to detail should be paid for the price you pay to rent it. Paint on the walls and roofs looks very messy and rushed, scratches on the dining room table, paint coming off the floors, stains on the couch and dining chairs, tapware that comes off in your hands, a broken shower, unfinished surfaces, and a broken toaster were just some of the issues.
I could still live with all this, and probably would not have even written this review, if it hadn’t been for the fact that the host provides very little necessities to make a stay comfortable. No tablecloths or placemats to eat on, no oil to cook with, no platters or even large plates to put some fruit on, no extra blankets or towels, the bare minimum amount of kitchen cleaning spray, 7 forks, no tissues, no hooks for towels etc etc etc. I am not expecting a free breakfast basket or something lavish, but you stay away at a house and at least expect there to be some of these useful things like oil!
While the property is a great place to stay, and we would love to return, it takes some of the fun out of it if you to have to bring every single tiny little thing. We had to run to Coles multiple times.
Please give the house a little TLC and provide some basic comforts for your guests because it really is an incredibly property! Thank you.
