The Boat Houses were spacious & welcoming in a great, quiet location

Good position with walking to beach front and town centre. People friendly.
Enough rooms for our family and good heating.
Property was disappointingly old and in need of maintenance.

Good location
2.0 / 5.0
Excellent location & amenities. However, maintenance is poor: broken Venetian blinds; patio door has dropped & is extremely difficult to shut & lock; gardens poorly maintained; bathroom windows have no winder handle -> passers-by could see into shower & windows couldn't be locked.

The communication from the owners was amazing. They kept us informed and provided us clear instructions prior to arrival. The property had a free washing machine and dryer to use which was a great service.
The property was not clean at all, the table was sticky, the crockery was not clean and the inside of the pantry had ring marks from the glasses.
The iron kept tripping the power of the property, so we could not use this.
The property had a damp/musky smell as soon as we opened the door, even though the window were open. The toilet bowl was loose and was not secure to the floor.
I would not recommend staying here at all, as we were quite disappointed.

Nice accommodation- we should have stayed longer.
Great communication for easy and convenient check in

We loved the beach house! It's been made with such quality and attention to detail. Everything's been thought of and we so quickly felt at ease when we arrived, to the clean, light and bright space.
The beach is a few hundreds meters down the road, you can hear it at night- it’s divine. We fell in love with the seaside lifestyle!
We will be back and recommend to all who want great accomodation and amenities within the area.

Although the loft terrified my girls (26&16) it was a nice setting - loved the fireplace but would have liked more timber in the wet day/night

Great location and amenities.
3.0 / 5.0
The condition of the villa is not well maintained , smells mouldy and kitchen equipment such as stove and kettle are too old, rusty.
The room is pretty clean and view is alright from the villa, the location is superb with shops nearby.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall, my experience was mixed. On the one hand, the villa was spacious and cozy, which I appreciated. The heat lamps in the bathroom were a nice touch and the amenities all worked well, including the smart TV. The check-in process was also easy and the villa was conveniently located within a short walking distance to the shops.
However, there were also several areas for improvement. The air conditioner was positioned directly above the bed, which was not ideal. I was also disappointed to find stains on the bath towel and dandruff on the bed. The tables were sticky and the bed was very hard. Additionally, the villa was nestled in the neighbourhood and did not have an ocean view. Parking was also tight and I could hear other guests late into the night. Finally, I was expected to wash dishes and take out the bins after my stay, which I felt was unreasonable given the high room rate of upwards of $250. The villa also looked tired and in need of maintenance.
Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives outweighed them.
2.0 / 5.0
Loved location. Boat house was not very clean,the floor was sticky and my husband got tinnier from the spa bath that also housed the shower. So we were very hesitant in using the spa, very disappointed. During the night it rained we woke up to water on the kitchen table and floor.
The garden needs a good tidy up.
2.0 / 5.0
The property itself was beautiful. It does need abit of maintenance.it was great we could park within our villa carport, it was abit tight however trying to navigate through the garden. Our villa was advertised with a spa/ jacuzzi. We went to use this and Jetts did not work. I called the host Amanda and text her but no reply. This was disappointing. The following day we checked out and still no follow up. One toilet paper roll and no spare in a unit for up to 5 people. I emailed the property and again no response. I did not want to post a review and instead contacted property directly to give them an opportunity to respond to the issues. They have not. Overall, disappointing.

The house was full of accumulated dust, outside would need a bit of maintenance, pleasant enough though if you are not looking for anything fancy. Great location

Spectacular location right near the golf course and seafood co-op. The wood fire was delightful and supplemented by a thermostatic electric heater. We'll be returning!

It’s what they don’t tell you that is disappointing! Booked well in advance a Deluxe Loft Villa with main bed and bathroom on ground floor and single beds upstairs. Received a text a few hours before we arrived that we were upgraded, but when we arrived the Villa was freezing and only heating was 2 small oil heaters on ground floor. Yes there is a Conara heater which was full of the last users left over wood, to go out and cut your own wood, kindling, paper and get the fire cleaned and started again when its dark and freezing outside is poor service. The split system did not work at all. We had to put the oven and all the cook tops on just to get the chill of the ground floor. Lucky there was an electric blanket on the main bed. Also with the upgrade all bedrooms are upstairs and bathrooms downstairs, finding your way down a rickety small and narrow staircase during the night was a pain for us older Aussies . The shower over the spar was terrible. Parking in a carport next to our villa was difficult for our medium sized car, don't even try with a larger car!. You also had to clean up your kitchen-bins and bring in to the outside bins! The villa was clean and the bed comfortable.

Lovely and clean and spacious. Manager was pleasant and helped out when required. Will stay again
1.5 / 5.0
Communication prior to arrival was good
We wanted to splurge on nice accommodation and for the price paid, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the villa. The property is dated and not up to the standard we expected from the photos
Villas are quite close together and our patio looked onto the car spot of the next villa
Good,quiet location close to town

Cute villa right next to shops and beach. Needs a bit of doing up (dated blinds and fixtures). A cosy retreat.

A cute little house with all the essentials plus a great jacuzzi bath.
1.0 / 5.0
This is the first negative review I have ever wrote but feel it’s a injustice to others that might stay here. To many things to list that were not up to standards but the number one complaint I have never experienced before at 57 years old is a bedroom upstairs and the bathroom downstairs.

Never saw the owners. Accomodation was comfortable and very close to town. Had extremely noisy neighbours and there was nothing done to stop them. Tried to check out at 9.30 and the office was not open to complain.

1.5 / 5.0
Was given the wrong room at check in and had to pack everything up again an hour later to move to the right room. Then lady from reception came to our room looking for her phone, was shouting while my baby was asleep. Not impressed with staff but accomodation was very nice.
