6/10
My family had a great time celebrating my mum's 80th birthday in this house with its magnificent ocean views. Location is excellent because you don't have crowds and you feel far away from it all but it's just a short drive to town. It is also a walker's paradise.
The house was lovely, great rooms which were very clean with nice decor but as it was the most expensive place I've ever stayed in, I expected an immaculate house but was disappointed.
Even before I got into the house, the tiles on the step at the door were missing. The skylight cover inside the house was not on right so you could see into the ceiling. There was a hole in the wall where the light switch was in living room and the verandah doors were so hard to open. There was a pool table in the garage but only one flimsy cue and the cleaners did not sweep the garage because there were leaves and cigarette butts on the floor as well as general clutter. The bins were also full to the top when we arrived which didn't leave much space for us.
At $1400 a night I don't think that's right. I have stayed in places for under $300 that didn't have anything for me to complain about.
We still loved our weekend because the views were breathtaking, we could see whales and dolphins and you could go for walks in either direction and be blown away by the beauty. But it needs a little bit of work to justify the price.
