Swan Valley Heights Merino Manor

Paul was an excellent host and we absolutely loved our stay in Baskerville. The place was so great with the most amazing view. Thanks Paul for an awesome stay for mums 80th. She had a ball

The first bedroom room opposite the laundry area - The sliding glass door panel was not cleaned so the beautiful views of the land could not be appreciated fully. Otherwise, the property is a very lovely place. The host has even provided us with the fresh eggs for our breakfast.The location is very close to Bell's Rapids which our group visited.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Merino Manor. Beautiful views and very relaxing stay. The staff were great.

The host was friendly and available. The house is well designed, plenty of parking and the pool was very appreciated and well kept. Chickens were well kept which is a rarity and shows the host's care and kindness. Lovely to be isolated from noisy roads and planes but close to plenty of cafes, pubs etc. and activities. Beautiful views across the valley. The cleanliness and general upkeep of the house inside was disappointing. Did a lot of cleaning ourselves in order to be comfortable - vacuum cleaner completely full which probably accounted for the floor being gritty through out. All skirting boards dusty and uncleaned. Kettle contained bugs, microwave interior not cleaned, toaster trays heavy with crumbs, oven had cooked foods hanging off racks and on bottom tray, cutlery and kitchen drawers and cupboards had crumbs and debris in most areas, air conditioner filter in ceiling blocked with thick dust, dryer filter full, under bedroom one bed thick with dust, bedroom two under bed was awful with rubbish and years of dust, ceiling fans throughout smothered in dust. There was more but I think I have made the point. Maintenance required with dirty marks, lots of dust, scuffs, scratches etc to most walls. Door locks on both bathrooms do not seem to work, had trouble locking some external doors, pantry door jammed and hallway door requires maintenance to close without needing to be slammed. Could be 5 star but needs much better cleaning, and interior maintenance.
