St. Leonards Pier Beach House

Good size of facility, good location and easy to communicate with the host (very responsive).

The bathroom has no shower, my 80 years old mother has to climb into the bathtub (major safety concern). The bathtub is slippery for my mother. There is no body soap provided.

Beautiful and neatly presented home, it was sparkling clean, very comfortable, and the owner was very responsive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.

There is no internet/wifi, recommend checking you will have mobile reception if required

We had a really pleasant weekend getaway at this property. It was easy to locate, clean, and very comfortable. The heating was excellent, which made all the difference on a chilly weekend. We didn’t hear any noise from neighbours and there was only minimal traffic sound, which made it peaceful. Phone reception in the area was slim to none, so the reliable Wi-Fi was much appreciated. Check-in and check-out were simple and hassle-free. The home was well presented throughout, and the sunroom was set up perfectly for relaxing on a rainy day—which we made full use of. Overall, a lovely, well-kept property that made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The name of the property suggested it was close to the pier. As someone new to the area, I was a little disappointed to find it was actually a drive away rather than a few steps distance.

The location is easy to get to and the instructions for entry were simple to follow. Just a short walk down to the beach in front of the yacht club or a longer walk along a dedicated track to other beaches, boat ramp and main street of shops. Peaceful well maintained backyard. Appreciate that dogs were welcome and the fences were sufficient to keep them in. Bbq excellent and well maintained. Comfy couch. Good tv. Good internet connection.

There was a mouse that would appear from behind the heater and run to the oven and back and forth. There were mouse droppings in the cupboard among the oven ware and pans. It is an older house but I would still hope that if it's being offered as a holiday rental that the walls/floors are secure enough to avoid entry by rodents. The towels and pillowcases smelled like cigarette smoke - where were they hung out to dry after their last wash? Something to think about for next patron. The front bedroom will hear a bus stop directly out the front that runs from 525am til late. House needs a deep clean - e.g. lots of dust and balls of hair blew out from under the bed when the windows open. Visibly dusty/dirty above shower in bathroom. Vinyl floors - trip hazard around bench in kitchen and stained/dirty in parts.
