    Oven door had been damaged and was off. Was told on the day by the agent it was going to be fixed but this didn’t occur. Decided to have a bbq instead as had seen a Webber Q in the listing and also in the compendium. There was none to be found at the property. Coincidentally on day 2 and brand new one arrived and placed outside. A bbq gas bottle then arrived and placed in the carport but was completely empty! Also was not made aware of another resident living under the main property.

    The property is in very close proximity to the local shops and restaurants in St Helens. Quiet and mostly catered for property. Enjoyed our stay.

    Very foul odor from the outside bins. We had to move them away! The guest entrance balcony didnt look tidy. There was a used rag lying on the floor and the doormat was not neat. Master bedroom bed not comfy and felt hard on back. Kids bed was comfy though. Dishwasher wasnt cleaned and still had dirty stuff inside. Floors werent vacuumed well.

    Place was so close to town. Had great big spaces for our child to roam and play. Parking was great even with our bike trailers.

    Just a few minor points but over all we enjoyed our stay. The place was comfortable but dusty in places such as in drawers, under the coffee table and the floor in the bedroom. Plenty of mugs and glasses but not many cereal bowls. As said before the position of the TV is odd but did not affect us as there was only the 2 of us but could be tricky with a larger group as only a 2 seater sofa to sit on to watch the TV.

    We liked the location for what we planned to see in the area. Very quiet residential street. The place is very spacious and light due to lots of large windows. As said before the layout in the lounge is a bit odd and would probably look better with more furniture but that did not affect our stay. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. Kitchen layout was great with a separate room with washing machine and drier. We also liked the outdoor seating areas. Nice path along by the water into St Helens which took about 10-15 mins.

    There is only a small two seater couch to view the tv in the lounge room. Can't see the tv from the big couch. Insects got in through worn out screen door.

    Very spacious and comfortable.

    The living area is large but the position of the TV means it is necessary to move some of the furniture around if more than 2 people want to watch. Is it possible for the TV to be moved to a larger wall or for some other lounge chairs or bean bags to be added to the area where the TV is? Would also appreciate some absorbent wipes to be provided in the kitchen to assist with cleaning up given there was only a small amount of paper towel available.

    Kitchen and bathroom facilities are excellent, and very clean Comfortable beds Undercover parking is appreciated especially when the days are quite warm Close to St Helens shopping strip

    The fly screen of the door has been broken and flies were in and out freely. The sofa surface look not clean.

    The location is good, the property is large and the view is wonderful. I love the big shower head in the bathroom. There are many travel books and information on the bookshelf.

    Furniture needs upgrading, needs 2x 3 seater lounges in darker colour and coffee table in middle of lounge to take advantage of view, smaller L shaped modular in front of TV. Needs placemats for dining table to avoid damaging service as its a nice table.

    Spacious, in very good condition. Great kitchen and outlook.

    Unfortunately no electric blankets, kitchen & bathroom exhaust fans were not working. There was no outside light near entry which made it difficult at night. There were no hooks to hang our jackets, towels. Front sliding door to deck appears fragile and felt unsafe. We couldn’t use the grill either?

    Views & well appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds. Heaters were good. Furnishing & decor was lovely & linen was excellent.

    No shades on the front windows at all. Windows may be tinted but still makes it feel less private. Also, the TV nook is a little odd. Suggest switching the bookcase so that you can watch on the 6 seater couch rather than the 2 seater.

    Close to St Helen’s shops and waterfront. Spacious property with huge living/dining. Super clean and modern design

    With such big windows I'd expect them to have a film on them to stop people seeing in as they don't have sun blinds. Extremely minimal pantry items.

    Great view and location. Comfy bed and plenty of room.

    The dishwasher door did not close, so we could not use it. We raised the issue on the first day but received no response. There was only one small fry pan, so cooked pancakes in a pot, which wasn't ideal. Only a few odd shaped glasses.

    Nice open plan area and kitchen. Bath was nice. Bedroom arrangement suited us. Location was good. Good cutlery selection. Privacy locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors was good.

    No instructions for equipment. Key safe had been moved from its original location but this had not been communicated. We thought it had 2 bathrooms but 1 bathroom and a separate toilet in the laundry

    Clean and lovely view. Easy walk into St Helens. House has everything we needed re cooking equipment and facilities.
