South Beach House - 8 South Beach Lane

The location is excellent. 10/10. The main living room is large, and the decoration in the living room is intriguing. The river view is lovely.

There were many things that detracted from enjoying staying in this house. Contact with the company managing the property is very disappointing. Except for emergencies, they are not available outside Monday to Friday office hours. The bedrooms are very basic, with cheap cupboards. Two of the bedrooms have no fan. In the kitchen, the coffeemaker didn’t work, and working how to use the oven and stove was difficult. The bathrooms did not have a place for shampoo and conditioner apart from the window ledge. The ensuite didn’t have a towel rail. If this was a reasonably priced place I wouldn’t have mentioned some of these things - but at over $1,000 a night you’re paying for quality and that’s not what you’re getting. It would be so easy to address all of the things I have mentioned to make the property worth what you pay for it.

A beautiful property, South Beach House offered stunning views of the river, easy access to town and the beach, as well as an eclectic vibe. The kitchen was well appointed, the bathrooms clean and showers divine. I loved wandering around the garden and enjoying the serenity.

While I appreciated the natural light that flooded the house, curtains/blinds on the bedroom windows are needed. In summer, dawn is early and after an indulgent evening, a little more sleep would have been nice.

Loved the location and the layout. The interior design is lovely. Well appointed kitchen. Great views and beautiful garden

A little light on curtains, would have loved to have the option of access to the ground floor

The property is newly renovated and in a great location.

There are no blinds on the bedroom windows as once the sun has risen so have you, there are a lot of gadgets but no manuals so we found it hard to put the music on, or how to operate the lift and some lighting.
