    The drive to the property is rather steep, which could potentially be a struggle for some cars.

    The property is situated in the hills with lovely country feels.

    The third bed (folding sofa) wasn't the most comfortable to sleep on. The main bed however is very comfy and the other single fold out bed is good as well.

    The hosts were really friendly and caring, and the space was quite large.

    Beds were no comfortable and one of the beds was an air mattress. Pretty small kichenette You need to pass the garage to go to bathroom The place a bit oudated but I was not happy about the cleaning. The fridge is not clean and there is mould in the freezer. There was dust and spiders in the ceiling of the room. Painting of the walls in broken

    Disappointing Stay with Unmet Expectations I recently stayed at this property and, unfortunately, it did not meet the expectations set by the listing. Upon arrival, we found cobwebs and spiders throughout the space, making it feel unclean and uninviting. The sleeping arrangements were misleading; one of the advertised beds was actually a sofa, and the air bed provided was inadequate—my child kept slipping down during the night due to insufficient air. The property was advertised as having air conditioning, but what we found was just a dusty evaporative air cooler. With hot and sweaty weather, we hardly got any sleep. One of the biggest disappointments was that the listing claimed to have a kitchen, but it had no stove. As a family of eight, we were forced to buy meals from outside, which nearly doubled our expenses during the stay. Additionally, the bathroom was accessed through the garage, which felt uncomfortable as we had to walk through a shared space with other guests. The laundry facilities were located upstairs on the owner’s floor, and when we returned after being out, we needed to do laundry right away. However, the owner scolded my kids, saying there was "no laundry this time," which was very frustrating. The owner was overly fussy and frequently texted us about minor issues, including complaints about noise when closing the bathroom door—even at 2 AM. I also found it inappropriate that the owner kept asking for additional money for my 2-year-old child, which I have never encountered during my stays in Australia. Overall, I paid $2,500 for this stay, which I feel was not worth it at all. In summary, I was very disappointed with my stay and cannot recommend this property based on my experience.

    Pool unusable. This should have been sorted prior to our arrival. This can't be news. Didn't feel valued as a guest and relationship dissolved with the no pool text leaving a sour taste and we felt avoided. No doubt a justification of the no pool situation will be posted in a rehearsed fashion. Wouldn't have booked if I knew this would be the case. I'm sure if we rocked up in a Hilux Mr poolman would have shown. Super-quiet rules can take a toll.

    Inside nice could have used small spruce to bring it into the 2020s. Fitted 5 of us in nicely.

    Some milk would have been nice to have a cuppa after such a long journey to arrive. The beds were so uncomfortable, no one slept well, and we were all struggling, grumpy, and tired. We napped during the day, but it was really hot. There was a discrepancy about having the curtains drawn when we were trying to have privacy to sleep, but the host suggested we were trying to hide our dog when he was always listed on the guest list. We were charged extra for cleaning, which was no more or less cleaning, regardless, which I settled quickly. Host could have suggested what she wanted to remedy the miscommunication instead of just ranting. In my profession, we come with a solution, not a problem. I have been in cheap hotels and motels to expensive penthouses, all over the world and there was always milk. There were very limited amenities to cook, and it took ages to find the bathroom because there was no instructions or guidance where it was without having to search through the garage. The electric plugs were also falling off the wall, and I cleaned the mould from the shower when I had a shower. Overall, we were very uncomfortable.

    It was a pretty location and convenient to our event.

    Unfortunately it was raining while we were there and we had to close the windows as the rain was coming in. Unfortunately this meant there was no ventilation at all.

    Location was good.

    The bathroom isn't attached to the accommodation and you need to go out through the garage to get to it. We found this very inconvenient. Other guests and the residents at the house could be there when you were going to the bathroom, any time of the day or night and we felt uncomfortable in our pjs when we ran into other people. Also we had to put shoes on as you were going through a garage and high traffic area. We couldn't lock the bathroom when we weren't using it so we didn't feel comfortable leaving anything in there. The accommodation was very hot once the sun came up, it is advertised as air conditioned however it is a portable air con that you have to fill with cold water. We didn't need to use the washing machine or dryer as we only stayed 2 nights, but they were no where to be seen and were included in the description. I stayed with my 2 adult daughters and it was a sufficient size for us, I cannot imagine having 7 people in the space.

    Katie was lovely and the accommodation was very clean. There was a full sized fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, electric frypan. Plus plenty of utensils. TV with an extra channel of nickelodeon.

    Only struggle is the walk up the road/ driveway, a little bit of a trek although not a big issue.

    Katie is a sweet and bubbly lady, who provided a warming welcome to her lovely accomodation despite running a busy household with adorable little ones! As a result, my partner and I felt very comfortable settling in and set a great tone going ahead for our trip. The location of the accomodation was gorgeous, giving a more rural experience of Gold Coast. The accomodation itself came with a well equipped kitchen, had plenty of room for storing belongings, a cozy bed, great hygiene in the rooms and bathroom, and a bonus of a pool containing an awesome range of toys! Additionally, my partner and I had heaps of privacy during our stay, and look forward to revisiting :)
