Boatshed

Great location and plenty of space for a couple, would love to spend a summer

The shed is very dated and it's easy to see that there is very little spent on the upkeep. Toilet would stop running, Door latch was broken, outside lights didn't work. The outdoor furniture was old, and the cushions looked like they hadn't been washed in years, The deck is need of repair and presents as an old weathered outdoor area. The most impressive part was the view. What a shame the boat shed doesn't accurately reflect the present condition of the premises on the website.

what it says on the description

I would have liked the actual condition of the property to have been communicated. It was very tired

A quaint little place to stay & the location is absolutely perfect, so long as you don't mind 100 people next door at the cafe, waiting to board the Dolphin Tour Boats, which finishes at 2.30pm, and then it's quiet. The accommodation was a lot better ten years ago when privately owned by Brian & Leone, but it is now a bit run-down. It was comfortable enough, but in need of an upgrade. There is no room to put luggage & there was very little room to put your clothes (half a small wardrobe and 2 shelves). There was evidence of mice in the kitchen. Of an evening, there were quite a few creepy-crawlies that came in under the door. There's also a very noisy possum who lives in the tree, and he likes to run across the roof at night. The outdoor deck needs maintenance work, we got quite a few splinters. The outdoor shade-umbrella was broken, so we purchased some tools and repaired it as best we could. Also, the umbrella base doesn't hold the umbrella properly and it will lift out in a slight breeze. We didn't use the BBQ because is it very old, dirty and rusty. It would also be useless in the rain because it's not under cover. Communication with Real Estate Agency is okay, but don't expect immediate replies, as they're quite often "in a meeting". We received no reply to my text & photos when we left. Whilst we LOVED the location, not sure if we'll stay there again unless it's upgraded, as it's quite expensive for what you get. Thanks.
