Izba - escondite de estilo mediterráneo

What a great view and a lovely welcoming fire made all the difference for our group of friends. Wish the 3 days for 2 deal offered on the booking page would have worked. But it wouldn’t without charging the full amount. Leaving at 10am Sunday seemed to cut our great stay too short.

Very relaxing birthday weekend for extended family. Suited all ages in our group from 10-84. Quiet, waterfront, great views, walk straight out the back gate and onto the bayside reserve. The house itself is spacious and a great traditional design.

Positives: Beautiful location with amazing view and nice outdoor area. 4 well sized bedrooms, nice fireplace for cold days and good kitchen appliances. All kitchen basics were also provided (oil, salt, coffee etc). Negatives (a lot so I’ll try to keep it short): Literally every room had some insects nesting in the corners. Mostly spider webs with dead flys and mosquitoes hanging in the middle of them. Lots of uncleaned surfaces throughout the house. We stayed during a bad weather event with lots of rain and some wind (nothing too crazy for australia I have to say). Windows and roof had water leaks and we lost power to some of the power points. The power issue was resolved within a few hours thanks to the swift response of the property manager (really another positive, these guys did seem to care and were responsive). Some lights outside were never working which I assume is due to some fundamental electrical issues at this property. Outdoor area has some shade sails hanging over the bbq area. They were banging in the wind non stop which was quite annoying especially at night time. Furniture in the house (especially in living area) should have been replaced ages ago. Lot’s of stains on carpet, sofas and cushions. One other positive, the property manager did offer to send some cleaning personnel after we flagged the cleanliness issue. Considering we were more or less in the house full time with a baby and a toddler we decided not to have any cleaning people coming. This house needs a full spring clean an renovation. Not something that’s done in a couple of hours. Most water taps in the house are also leaking. There is a some mould already building up in the vanity downstairs due to constant water leaking. All in all a very disappointing stay. Certainly not a luxury experience as advertised on Stayz.

Very good location; Beautiful house; A accommodation for adults and children alike. Nice place to remember!
