Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was friendly and available. The house is well designed, plenty of parking and the pool was very appreciated and well kept. Chickens were well kept which is a rarity and shows the host's care and kindness. Lovely to be isolated from noisy roads and planes but close to plenty of cafes, pubs etc. and activities. Beautiful views across the valley. The cleanliness and general upkeep of the house inside was disappointing. Did a lot of cleaning ourselves in order to be comfortable - vacuum cleaner completely full which probably accounted for the floor being gritty through out. All skirting boards dusty and uncleaned. Kettle contained bugs, microwave interior not cleaned, toaster trays heavy with crumbs, oven had cooked foods hanging off racks and on bottom tray, cutlery and kitchen drawers and cupboards had crumbs and debris in most areas, air conditioner filter in ceiling blocked with thick dust, dryer filter full, under bedroom one bed thick with dust, bedroom two under bed was awful with rubbish and years of dust, ceiling fans throughout smothered in dust. There was more but I think I have made the point. Maintenance required with dirty marks, lots of dust, scuffs, scratches etc to most walls. Door locks on both bathrooms do not seem to work, had trouble locking some external doors, pantry door jammed and hallway door requires maintenance to close without needing to be slammed. Could be 5 star but needs much better cleaning, and interior maintenance.
Beautiful view

Air con filter, partially cleaned by us.

The first bedroom room opposite the laundry area - The sliding glass door panel was not cleaned so the beautiful views of the land could not be appreciated fully. Otherwise, the property is a very lovely place. The host has even provided us with the fresh eggs for our breakfast.The location is very close to Bell's Rapids which our group visited.

Family stay for wedding close by

This property is a great size with plenty of open space. 2 Queen bedrooms with large wardrobes. 3rd bedroom has 4 single beds.Large pool area and great views out to the city and surrounds. Great large verandah area to just relax and watch the amazing WA sunsets. Host was great.Other guests on first night of our stay were very noisy until after midnight. House was tidy but could do with a deep clean to bring it back up to scratch. Fresh eggs from the resident chicken coup and a great veggie and fruit garden. Thanks Paul and Bob for sharing your produce.

Fantastic, relaxing and earthy

Had a wonderful time at the property. From the moment we drove up the driveway and admired the beautiful view and tranquility. Thé property had a huge verandah with a fabulous view and felt very relaxing! We were greeted by the very friendly chickens also! The host was very personable and his staff also. Definitely recommend a getaway there. With a group or just a few… it was fabulous.

Great location

The property was in a great location. But was very disappointed at the property not very clean. Lots of cobwebs bathrooms and toilets were not clean. Kitchen pots and pans we could not use as stuck on previous food still on them, the oven was filthy. Cupboards all needed wiping down and cleaning inside.
