  The property is well maintained and the furniture and fittings were of a high standard.
  We had booked as an Luxury Escapes package.
  the biggest disappointment was not being able to pick the keys up earlier when instructed that the property was still being cleaned. Unfortunately when arriving at the house the cleaning had not either being completed or carried out. when the cleaners arrived we were asked to move out of the house with our belongings, so it could be cleaned !
  1. The tile floors had not been washed
  2. The beds were not made and personal towels not
  placed in the bedrooms.
  3. There was no toilet paper in any of the toilets.
  4. Only one toilet in the pool house had a seal over
  the lid to note that it had been cleaned.
  And after cleaning there was still no seal placed over the lid, so assume they may not of being cleaned.
  5. The sink near the BBQ had wine stains and a ping
  pong ball in it.
  6. The BBQ had not been cleaned.
  7. The fox T.V connection was not working.
  8. The upstairs T.V was not working.
  9. There was no Tea towel left with the Luxury
  Escapes package.
  So overall the house was great, the cleaning was well below standards, and the luxury Escapes package was below expectations.
  In our view someone should accept responsibility and some form of compensation should be allocated as at this level of house and thru luxury Escapes this should not of happened.

  Tammy V from Berry, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  House was lovely, though for the 1st 2 nights of a 3 night stay we had no television this was rectified after a lot of phone calls. The garbage bins were absolutely full and on the front kerb when we arrived so no where to put garbage. No cloth to wipe down a bench. Dirty crockery from the people before us, not great with covid. Dirty towels in laundry from people before us, again covid.Everything else was great, beds beautiful and comfy.

  We had a wonderful time. The location was great, the house was beautiful and the kids and adults loved it — even the teenager was impressed! The only 2 criticisms were the fact there was only 1 key and 1 tea towel between 3 families!

  A beautiful property - excellant location, plenty space could not fault it one bit ...all my guests loved it too x
  Let down by agents - paid for early check in only to arrive roperty was not cleaned had to clean fridge to pur perishables in whilst arranged for cleaner to attend still awaiting refund of fee!! Discussed other reviews re neighbour was advised had no issues for 2 months only to have police arrive at 10.31 and although they had no issue with noise level they needed to attend which they said they do EVERY weekend and sometimes during week which were all notifiable to agents. Pool was overflowing which was also notified to agent who stated that they would inform owners. Initial interaction with staff member when checking in was quite unpleasant, rude and talked over me whilst asking questions that I had to leave and come back to see another who was fine. i would recommed property to anyone however would also recommend they change agents,I have used Winning Holidays on several occasions in the past and had no issues

  a guest from Maryville, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  The House was great & we had a really enjoyable time. However a nosey neighbour was filming us at one stage. (5.45pm) on the 1st day & then we didn’t see or hear from her after that!!My main concerns were there were no instructions for the TV , oven & dishwasher. Also the dishwasher only had enough detergent for 1use. There were 10 of us & we were there 4 nights. 1big disappointment was the TV reception VERY poor & we couldn’t get the NRL Grand Final.The location was very handy & the Maxi Cab service very good..
