Pool

We had planned to catch up with family and the location was a good half way point for all of us. Lots of bedrooms for us all a spacious kitchen and dinning and living room. Pool was clean. Pity it had rained so the spacious grounds were soaked and we couldn't really even walk on the grass! We did some sightseeing and walks. Some went golfing and some fishing! We did wine tasting at "The Great Lakes Paddocks" they were fantastic! Great space and very accommodating to our tastes! The only down side is the house is old and needs a little TLC. In some of the bedrooms the water pressure was low and a couple of couches were mouldy. The ceiling fans were really filthy too! Good space for big groups though.

It’s such a shame this property has fallen into disrepair. With a lot of TLC I’m sure it could return to its former glory. Lights not working & ceiling fans just filthy. The list goes on. A thorough clean could go a long way. However the outside was really great. The pool area & surrounding grounds were where we spent most of our time.

The host was fine, he proved all the relevant info for us to enjoy our stay.The property has great bones, but is sadly quite run down. The list of things that need cleaning, fixing or attention is too big to list. However, I can't not mention the mould growing underneath the kitchen sink. It is absolute disgusting, and really should be reported to the health department or something.
