Stay
There was a lot of dust ontop of the lights in the upstairs kitchen. The spa got cold quickly. And we wernt told the panel for the spa was shut by the owners so we were trying to turn it on for ages. There was old mouldy bread left in the cupboard too.

Luxury home close to town
This property was a pleasure to stay in and just a 5 minute drive to the shops. It had all the luxury fittings and modern conveniences - excellent wifi, ducted cooling, 2 smart tvs, 2 washing machines, a dryer and coffee machines. The games room was fantastic. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the well maintained pool table and darts. The only complaint we had is about the dishwasher in the main kitchen upstairs which was not working. We had to carry cutlery back and forth to the dishwasher downstairs after every meal. As you can imagine, this was a lot of trips for a large group. I don't know if it is a particularly temperamental model to fix as other complaints from other reviewers appeared to be resolved. One other recommendation from our holiday group is to add some large pots, saucepans, chef knives and chopping boards in the kitchen.

The Mansion
A great layout for a large family/group. Pretty good position. Unfortunately the furniture etc is well used and not the brand new house as advertised. Very dusty and the couches were filthy. BBB also filthy. It took three days to get the spa fixed and received no return emails from manager. Outside unkept and needed gardening attention. This place just needs a little tlc and it would be great.

Lovely house- but needs a deep clean.
Lovely modern house with great facilities. However, the BBQ was pretty disgusting. Meant to be cleaned before leaving- but it had not been cleaned for a long time. No tea towels as promised. Was def left better than we found it.

Big house and great location
This property has so much potential and it’s in a fabulous location. A few things did let it down and unfortunately made our stay not as relaxing or enjoyable as it could be. The cleanliness was not as you would expect coming out of a pandemic, but happy to overlook and do my own bit for our stay. The dryer, one of the microwaves, the main dishwasher in upstairs kitchen wasn’t working which meant 20 dishes etc being walked up and down stairs .... not ideal and the heating element not working in the spa. So all these things were a bit frustrating and 1 vacuum cleaner with no carpet attachment is also a bit rough. The house wasn’t stocked as one might expect so future guests just bring everything. As I did mention the house for a big group is awesome great rooms and space but owners please do the maintenance.. Oh and 1 more TV would be nice.. 😩. 19 guests and 1 tv?? Thank you for the stay we had fun and Phillip Is is awesome, the property would rate 5 stars if things worked.

Agent Dishonest
Our stay at the Mansion was bit disappointing because heating and cooling did not work as mentioned in the original listing also dryer didn't work and we informed to the agent couple of times and didn't get fix it was wasting time with emails and phone calls
most disappointing is their dishonest behavior on the holiday rental web site original listing changed a couple of times and they asked us to refresh the page and clear cache. Fortunately, we had screenshot saved from the original listing
If anyone booking this property please get all inclusions in writing via email. Other than agent dishonest behavior place is nice and we enjoyed our holiday
