Leura Sublime Sunrise

We were there for the Easter long weekend, unfortunately the weather didn't agree with our stay, but the house being relatively spacious was a boon. It afforded us to hang out, playing board games and a mini-tournament with the Fuzzball helped make our stay relaxing and engaged. When we had a break in the rain we made the short walk down to Sublime Point and got to appreciate the view from the back bedroom, yard and kitchen. Each bedroom had a double bed as well as air conditioners and electric blankets. The living areas were of a good size, you certainly didn't fell cramped all in all it was a well kept house.

Like to give a few suggestions, the laundry down stairs had a damp smell about it. We didn't use it but for folks who might be staying a little longer could cause an issue. Airing it out more often along with some damp-rid products or other type of action will not go astray. The kitchen was quite serviceable, though the doors & drawers to need some care given to them.

The location

Limited cooking utensils eg salad bowls, pots etc but generally sufficient

Location was great. Quiet area with Sublime Point a short walk away. Nice area and seats at back of property to sit outside (see picture). Property has at some stage has been well renovated on the inside and was very tidy and clean and, a big plus for a hot or cold day, had air conditioners in every bedroom as well as main living area. Bedrooms were basic but functional and comfortable. It was nice to have a soak in the very large bath after the Grand Canyon walk.

For longer stays a clothes dryer would be nice if doing any washing or trying to dry damp clothes if been walking in wet weather.

The surfaces were clean; fire pit and soccer game were an attraction for our 3 grandchildren but these attractions didn’t make up for the following shortcomings.

No doubt the owner is aware of the following issues. Dishwasher broken and its filter disgustingly dirty and it was far too small to be very useful; air con in 2 bedrooms didn’t work (house was freezing on arrival and took many hours to get comfortable temperature) and non working appliances didn’t help; no additional garbage bags for kitchen tidy); inadequate amount of cutlery; one bed facing the view was saggy. The photo of the house on bookings was misleading (from better days) and the view was misrepresented/misleading, only apparent if you stood on chair at end of long uneven lawn. The kitchen chairs were unstable and one of the dining chairs was wobbly and unsafe.
