Not a pleasant location. Situated on a busy roundabout.
The front garden looked neglected, with broken front gates that couldn’t be closed and missing fence pickets. There were plants growing out of the porch and the outdoor furniture was poor. It felt very unwelcoming with no little touches, especially considering it was Christmas.
The backyard was unusable, with knee high grass. There were fire pit coals poured onto a gravel portion of the yard and the concrete was littered with old dog leads and broken toys, which I had to clean up. It was not dog friendly.
The property had not been maintained well. There was an overwhelming smell of rising damp and it could do with a thorough clean. The kitchen bench and cupboards were sticky. The range hood and oven had not been cleaned for months, covered with caked on grease and residue. The pantry items consisted of an old bag of sugar and some wasabi satchels. We could not eat here.
The overall furniture and styling was poor. It looked as though no effort or thought was given to creating a stylish holiday home that you would want to experience.
The bedding was not inviting, with mismatched linen that looked as though it had been just thrown together quickly. The bed was not comfortable.
We could not wait to leave. This property is not fit for purpose. We left early after obtaining other accommodation in Bendigo, which was a direct contrast to this property. Worst home I've ever been in.
