Large Home @Kingston Foreshore

Property convenient location, clean, comfortable Easy to find

Ensuite door was off runner, bbq area could be cleaned

Great space, secure garage, 5 bedrooms, large communal space with big dining table - perfect for a larger group of people / working session with colleagues.

A bit run down - paint peeling in middle floor bathroom roof and mould on the ceiling, door broken on upstairs bathroom, many little things broken and not repaired, and wifi didn't work (could log in but no internet) and poor cell phone reception, so hot-spotting was not reliable either.

Location was fantastic, off road parking was a bonus, size of house and number of bedrooms (5) was spot on for group of friends. Details of how to get there and how to access were clear. Beds were comfortable. And kitchen was serviceable. Price was affordable. Overall the property met our needs.

Despite being a relatively new build there were elements of the property that were a bit tired and in need of maintenance. Eg, kitchen sink was leaky and water would spurt out horizontally, front door was virtually impossible to lock from the outside, some of the power points did not seem to work and had loose switches or missing plates, and there were some broken shelves in bathrooms. Hosts could have communicated a bit better as to the need to bring toiletries and refreshments (eg shampoo, tea bags, soaps)

The place was really spacious, particularly being able to accomodate 10 people. Loved the ample number of aircons, especially since it was an extremely hot weekend. The location was great, and instructions were incredibly easy to follow. It was a great place to stay for a few days.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few issues we had with the property, namely the cleanliness. - Most dishes (plates, glasses, cups, cutlery & cooking utensils) were unclean, and looked like they hadn’t been washed at all. This meant we hand washed everything before we used it for cooking - A pillow in one of the bedrooms had an old blood stain on it - Many of the bathrooms didn’t smell clean upon arrival and contained mould, including supplied towels and old body wash - one of the third floor bathroom doors was broken, meaning the couple staying in that room couldn’t have full privacy when using the bathroom - the smoke alarm on the second landing of the stairs was open and didn’t have any batteries (We’re unsure if the fire safety regulations are different to that of Victoria, but didn’t seem safe nonetheless) - the aircon in one of the third floor bedrooms was dripping water all night, it eventually soaked the towels and carpet underneath - There was a leak coming from the back/side door next to the garage and outdoor area, which lead to a small puddle in the hallway
