Family week away at the beach
We were lucky to find a place at short notice due having to cancel our other booking as a result of bushfires. It was our first visit to the area. The location and proximity to the beach was the main draw card & the online pictures looked pretty good. When we walked in we were a little shocked - we thought we had made a terrible mistake. Very old and musty smelling. Airing the property out for the whole day improved this. We would have expected that this should have been done prior to us going in. The unit is ok - just - good for a short stay but desperately in need of a good paint & modernise. The walls were patched up with odd paint touch ups everywhere and much of the lounge furniture was stained and very old. Everything in the unit is much older than what the pictures show online. There was only one 2 seater couch and a few old looking chairs so it wasn’t very comfortable for a family of 4 to relax in the lounge. 2 lounges would be more sensible instead of the 5 other odd chairs, which were also quite stained and worn out. The kitchen and bedroom cupboards were also on need of a good clean/ replace. Very old crockery & cutlery. Bathroom and toilet are very dated. Due to its views and location, if this unit just had a small inexpensive modernise, as well as some better attention to the cleanliness and the amenities ( please get rid of all the really old stuff ) it would have been unbeatable when compared to other units in the same building and in the opposite building. Not sure it’s quite 3 stars especially being so rundown and without aircon. We have stayed at other 3 star holiday units and cabins near beaches - this was not really at the same standard for similar cost. We would possibly stay again if updated but what we ended up with wasn’t what we expected from the listing pictures.
