When I arrived at the property I was welcomed by a nice spacious backyard area with a wharf that extended along the lake which was quite beautiful. When saying hi to my friends one of the first things that was said to me was that the aircon only works well in the pool room and no where else. Immediately this raised concerns as it was New Year’s Eve and the weather was expected to be high 30s. I went through the house which did look very much like the photos listed which was expected. Of course, upstairs was truly warm but we powered through it. Throughout the next few nights we kept on discovering some irregularities withIn the house. One of the major things was that the wifi connection simply did not work. We even restarted the modem but there was still no connection for any of the 10 people in the house. Furthermore the TV in the living room was in-fact , not a TV, but more like a 1980s computer that was being tested for the first time and we were the test subjects. Fortunately, we have some technically gifted individuals who could solve the rubix cube of a problem. Once we landed on the channel with the New Year celebrations (Party of the Decade) it felt like we were watching distortion at its peak. This wasn’t a big deal but more of an inconvenience as we then moved into the pool room to watch the countdown. As the fun times continued, we decided to put on a flick in the theatre room. The owners had a box full of an assortment of DVDs of all kinds of genres which was exciting. Once we finally decided on a film to watch, we came to the realisation that the DVD player did not work. Like.... it was just a hollow shell of a DVD player with no actual hardware inside. After marvelling at this for a good 10 mins or so we decided the move on. Keep in mind, the aircon in this room did not work either so we were dripping. One of the highlights of the room was the speaker in the corner of the room that was being held up by tape haha. This speaker wasn’t even connected to the base and had wires hanging out from the bottom. Honestly, it was pretty funny, especially when the tape had taken some of the paint off the walls with it. As we further inspected the furniture and overall decor in the house, we came to the understanding that everything was pretty much put in as space filler which didn’t provide that sense of ‘home’. Besides that, I’d say we had a lot of fun and it provided a good space for us to enjoy each other’s
company. Thanks.
