Overall the stay was great and the house and location perfect, the managers of the property had to come over a couple of times and sort the pool pump (these things can't be helped) what was a bit frustrating was we booked the place for my birthday for 3 days to have a bit of a break from the caravan and on the morning on my birthday 3 utes and tradies let them selves in, drove right up to the house and were there until nearly 2pm building a fence at the property, we had plans and were out for a few hours that morning but just felt uncomfortable using the pool or being outside while they were all there and it's not really the done thing. They also left the gate open when entering, and leaving and one of my deaf dogs ran out onto the road that's how I realised it was left open. As I explained to the property manager and asked to pass onto the owner had we of known prior as we booked it for some peace, quiet and privacy we probably would have booked somewhere else if those works were going to happen during our stay. I guess when you pay close to $1000 for somewhere and people are on the property its not really ok, as I said I bnb my home and if this had happened I would have offered my guests some sort of compensation.
As I said above the actual house, location and property management were absolutely lovely so I don't want this to deter from all those positives.
