Unclean property

Very disappointed with this property, due to the unclean state that we walked into. Some examples are kitchen utensils not cleaned, BBQ not cleaned, kitchen cupboards not wiped down ( fingerprints could be seen on the handles) and this during covid. However, the most disgusting was the bedrooms were our son slept, the sheets and underlays had yellow stains and the curtain had white marks on them. We had travelled a while then had to clean for an hour, With the amount you pay for the rental, you did not expect this, and from a stayz property. Reported this and there was no offer of compensation. This is typical of the way people do business these days, they transferred the issue to the cleaning company and then nothing is communicated.

Improvements would enhance stay

The bed was extremely uncomfortable so much so that I ended up sleeping on the couch for two nights. The doona was too small and mattress felt old.There were no electric blankets. It would be nicer if the upstairs windows were cleaned so that the view could be enjoyed. It would also have been nice to have had some kindling to start the fire. I have stayed at many homes and found the essentials lacking in this one. There was limited toilet paper and coffee, tea supplies. The bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch but would have preferred extra supplies instead.

Relaxing break

We had a beautiful relaxing 5 night stay at treetops. The views from the balcony were lovely. The place was very nice, clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay there again.

Weekday Getaway

The location of this unit is excellent, with private views to the ocean and beautiful bushland, from which emerged many birds who visited the deck. In hotter weather, the outside amenities would allow plenty of opportunities for relaxation. We felt "3 bedrooms" was a little misleading as furniture in the living-area should not be included in that definition. Fortunately, we were able to suitably organise ourselves. For safety reasons, I believe there should be an extra key supplied for use in the downstairs outer-door, given that bedrooms are close and the key would be upstairs in the lock of the front door. There was a substantial leakage issue with the screen in the main-bathroom, resulting in soaking wet bathmats and slippery floors ... one for the maintenance list? The panel-heaters downstairs were needed and appreciated as it is somewhat cooler than the living areas. Perhaps heated towel-rails could aid in a little extra comfort, especially in Winter?
