I would not recommend staying here unless you want to deal with serious problems. We notified the owner well in advance that there had been a double booking, as the property was listed on multiple platforms. The other party had cancel, and we reasonably assumed the owner would ensure everything was resolved before our arrival.After a 7-hour drive with 4 adults and 5 kids, we arrived to find the house already occupied by another group. It was a stressful and unacceptable situation. To our shock the house was occupied by another group. 3 groups, 3 bookings all made on different platforms. Ben, the property owner, was unhelpful and unapologetic, taking no responsibility for the mix-up. His lack of professionalism only added to the frustration.This experience was a complete disaster, and I strongly recommend avoiding this accommodation in the future.
Basic crockery not there. Not enough to go around. Plenty of beer glasses but only 1 wine glass.
One lamp for double room. Also one without a globe. Toilet roll holder missing.
No teabags. Coffee machine with no pods.
Backyard looked nice.
Linen was fine. House was otherwise clean.
Otherwise was a great stay in a nice area. good pub food available close by.
spacious but needs attention, this house has lot of potential
Constructive Feedback;
My family and my overseas guests stayed at the house over Christmas 2022 and only used the house for sleeping. We spent time out with other family members who stayed with her daughter who lives in West Wodonga. First impression of the house was fantastic, however, things started to fall apart when we turned the airconditioner ON and all the dirt, cobwebs and dead spiders started to fill the rooms. To me its very important to breathe clean air, unfortunatelly I think those ducts are a health hazard and they need attention.
On Christmas morning the main bathroom flooded due to blocked drain in shower. Lucky for my husbands handyman skills and a butter knife to pop the drain and give it a clean, which worked for time being but I suggest you call a plumber and have it looked at. My experience working in the building industry, that drain is still blocked from building rubble....just a suggestion. There were cobwebs everywhere inside and outside, but I can live with that as its part of nature, however all the cigarette butts in the garden and around the firepitt should have been picked up. I've given a generous 3 stars for this property, but it had potentials to get 5 stars. The mattresses need to be replaced in every room, I think they are as old as I am..... about 50+ years old. Beds need to be dressed the day before guessts arrive with clean and fresh sheets ( I know this because I've worked in housekeeping), unfortunately ours smelled stail. Mop and bucket needs to be clean for guests to use. Fridge needed to be wiped out.
I hope you take this as a constructive feedback. As I've mentioned, this house has great potential with some attention to detail. My Viking Brother in law from Sweden enjoyed the beers the host left in the fridge, so THANK YOU for that (5*) very much APPRECIATED. Best wished Rozalia
After receiving a confirmation of my booking, the host messaged me to advise that the property was not actually available but that he owned a similar property in the same are that could accomodate me. I accepted this and never heard from the host again despite numerous attempts at contacting him right up until the day of the booking. As I never received any addresses or check in details for either the property that I booked or the second property that I was offered, I was in the position of paying for last minute accommodation after travelling for most of the day. I had booked this house to accomodate 6 adults and 3 children and we all had to pay extra for same day hotel bookings. I still have not had any communication from the host.
The stay was lovely but there were 2 issues.
The shower in the ensuite did not empty fast enough and so the floor flooded. We had to turn off the water shampoo our hair and then turn on the water to rinse, let the water subside before we could continue with the shower.
There was a similar problem in the main bathroom. But it did not flood - just made sure we had a very short shower.
