Having to do bank transfers and share bank details. A lot of rules and many that conflicted between the various emails issued in advance. Couldn’t relax for fear of losing deposit for eg not returning the remote to the coffee table, felt the need to send a photo of the rubbish bin area for fear of being blamed for leaving items there (that were there on our arrival) + + Towels and sheets were very very worn out but were clean. Shower was clean but the place was generally dirty. Had to wash all the cutlery and glasses before using them. Ended up washing down two doors and the fridge door that had liquid spills on them - we didn’t cause the spills but the myriad of rules made us feel we would be blamed and deposit taken. Place needs a really good deep clean and repaint to feel clean.

Location. Facilitator Michele was responsive on text. Quick return of deposit. Chairs on balcony. Easy parking.

Bed was ok but blanket was not clean enough. Pet furs were there from previous guest. Toilet was clean but no toilet paper holder, no toiletries were there. I think according to the money I paid, I deserved the toiletries. Sofa blanket need to be more clean. It was bit smelly.

The portacot was very dirty and dusty and had a very bad smell to it when I opened it. Seen how dirty it was as the white around the cot was a yellow color and just put it away and had to try to make do with my 11-month-old and she had to sleep in between myself and partner.

Nice little place, just requires a bit of TLC was close to all everything.

Stayed in January 2023

There was a bag left in the wardrobe from previous tenant so proper cleaning was not a priority.There were children running up and down the verandah for a couple hours after we arrived

The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great pressure and ample hot water

Be careful — the owner/host tried to sneak into the property without any notice. When she realized I was inside, she pretended to be a cleaner. She was literally putting the key in to open the room without any consent. The house was dirty. The kitchen utensils were extremely unclean and unusable — we had to buy our own. The lounge couches had dirty sheets, and it looked like all the furniture came from a local thrift store. and yes be careful of the washing machine and dryer it was filthiest.

Only location is good. Too many rules.

Good value for money and good location for our needs

Probably a good idea to bring your own pillows.

We brought our own food. The location was very good - close to the venue, family and town.

The property is not in the best part of Nowra. It turned out to be a dirty, cockroach ridden health hazard inside. When you enter it appears modestly furnished. When you open the kitchen cupboards and the oven door you are greeted with filth, dead insects and cockroach droppings and a stale, greasy smell. All the pots, pans and crockery are dirty. The saucepans unusable as the heat wouldn't conduct on the electric hob due to the black grime underneath. Under the sink was a mouldy sponge and the t towel and towels smelt of unwashed damp. We bought our own utensils to use. There were insects and cockroaches in every room and on the furniture. We used a whole can of insect repellent in 3 days. We had seen previous reviews and the owner Michele's rude, dismissive replies to them so felt it wasn't worth informing her until we left. We had to find somewhere else to stay as we felt it was a health hazard and may make us ill. Michelle states that all complaints should be within 4 hours of arrival and that was unrealistic. We informed Michelle we were leaving early and why. her reply was that there was nothing wrong with the property, her cleaner had told her about the cockroaches and she had arranged pest control for the next week. We sent her photos of the filth and dead insects and she kept saying she didn't receive the photos and to email them to her. Her reply was there was not enough evidence to substantiate our claim or give a refund, No apology given. We felt so disgusted that we reported the matter to Shoalhaven council and environmental office.

This review is for Mystic blue. The proprietor/owner changed our location because work was being completed at grey pebbles. We shortened our stay from 5 nights to 3 as there was not much to like unfortunately.

Extremely dirty. Lots of insect & small spiders. Bitten my son’s left arm. As soon as checked in- Rang owner- she said ‘she has no cleaner. Asked me to clean the property for what she will pay me $50🤨

Nothing at all. Please find the photos attached for Living room, Bedroom, Beds & Fridge. Totally disgusting… I booked many times via Booking.com ( Japan, USA, Canada etc) but never had this kind of experience.

We hadn't received the lockbox instructions before arrival so had to contact the owner who was apologetic and gave the code right away. The beds weren't the most comfortable.

It was basically a caravan park cabin in the suburbs so it was quiet. It had what we needed - 2 bedrooms and living area.

Stayed in March 2024

No wine glasses, so I’ve bought and gifted 6 champagne flutes to the house. The previous guest must have turned the fridge off so it took a day to cool down after I turned it on, maybe something the cleaner could double check in their list of tasks as to not inconvenience next guests as I had a refrigerated groceries when I arrived. But overall these are very minor things easily fixed and we enjoyed our stay

Had everything we needed for our stay, full kitchen, shared laundry. It was clean, comfortable and in a good location. We enjoyed our stay

Very disappointed in the overall level of cleanliness and maintenance. The handles on kitchen cupboards were greasy, there were food scraps on some cutlery and kitchen utensils, food scraps and water inside a saucepan, dish drainer was very rusted and greasy, the coffee machine was greasy. The frypan was not level. I scrubbed the things we needed in the kitchen and had to even buy a set of cutlery for ourselves as even after washing in detergent and boiling water some still had dirt on them. Worst of all the air conditioner did not work on cool cycle necessitating us spending some hours in shopping centre on a 38 degree day. One fan did not oscillate and the other was very wobbly. Also, although we are dog lovers, people in unit beside us had about 10 dogs (poodles, pugs, French bull dogs, two St Bernard puppies) and, apart from the little poodles barking, the many faeces in common backyard were not picked up every day. Therefore we could not open windows. Regret that we had to pay in advance.

The location was ideal. Sheets were clean.

noise from next door here all voices worse when had young children

had all the facilities needed

Stayed in April 2023

Possibly need a sign on the gate (where the lockboxes for the keys are located) advising that the gate needs to be closed correctly. As it was right next to the bedroom you hear it banging if there was a little breeze. Using the sliding bolt to close the gate stops the noise.

Location was good for where I needed to go during my stay. Facilities were exactly what I needed in regards to freezer space.

Unfortunately uncomfortable lounges.

Convenient location close to town .Spacious 2 bedroom unit with good facilities.
