Needed a cheap place for 2+4 that was cheap and we would be able to cook to minimise costs.
• Room heaters are slow but effective. Rudimentary drying cupboard with a fan heater and a clothes rack. The bunks are solid.
• Reported the hot water as a fault to the owner - an electrician, inspected it and advised it’s off-peak and insufficient for 6 people. 3 people had to birdbath each day.
• Dining area is the kitchen bench. 5 bar stools but only usable space for 4 once seated.
• Stove plates too small to heat most of the pots, electrician said they should be the same size or larger than the pot to be effective. Can simmer water in the smallest pot but not enough to boil. Oven is slow as it’s convection only.
• Ant infestation in the kitchen, after spraying they reappeared via a different gap.
• Kettle doesn't always turn itself off so don’t leave it unattended.
• Cutlery, cooking gear, plates and cups were dirty with grease and baked-on food. Cups wiped, not washed. We washed everything before use. The electric fry pan was good but the legs were broken. Cleaner clearly doesn't check the dishes.
• Kitchen drawers need to be held when opened or they risk falling out.
• Cups are a random eclectic mix from an op-shop with some with cracks or chips.
• Door is at the back.
• Ski racks are too narrow.
• The front parking spot usable due to the neighbour parking wide. Rear parking requires an 8-point turn and access has a 5cm clearance each side of the vehicle.
• Bathroom is a basin, shower, laundry tub, washing machine and toilet in one room. Good heater but the window has a gap in the glass that leaks heat/cold. Shower screen cracked and the glass and tile grout have mould. Tiles in the middle of the floor are loose and sharp. The amount of dirt under these would indicate it isn’t a recent problem.
• The rest of the unit looks like it was an 80's build that has been DIY'd ever since.
• There is no vacuum cleaner.
Dealing with owner:
Checkin: Stayz 2pm, Owner 4pm. Referring us to their electrician is not reasonable, it's their stuff, how am I supposed to resolve it? Just because we found a problem and reported it first doesn't mean it isn't legitimate.
Some improvements made when looking at previous comments. While there are beds for 6 people it isn't suitable for 6 people unless you are into cold showers and don't cook. I would never stay here again and would advise you to pay more and look elsewhere.
Word cap was too small for full detailed review.
