Dissapointed
Interior clean, exterior very poor, toilet very low for aged or disabled people, with no handrail for assistance.. Shower rose drips continually in shower and no support handrail.. Photos of advert imply dwelling directly across road from the waterfront, shows 2 TVs ,1 only and only local free to air channels. In short a very aged property and over priced.

Hi Len, We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay at Evans Retreat. This property is an older property; however, it is located directly across the road from Sandy Point Beach at Corlette. Thank you for bringing our attention to the 2 TVs shown in the photos as one TV has been removed due to no longer working and the owner decided not to replace it, we have removed this photo. The dripping shower has also been attended to. We appreciate you taking the time to pass on your feedback.

Great location, spacious old house.
We loved walking across the road to the beach. While the house was spacious, it needed considerable maintenance, especially curtaining in the main bedroom facing the street. Broken venetians don't give much privacy. It really didn't detract from a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Place smelled damp, mouldy and dusty. Furniture and Kitchen appliances are from second hand st vinnies. Rusted, stained,dirty. Dust and mould on walls, windows and Curtains. Don't bother cooking, kitchen utensils are eather broken or dirty, Rusted. Had to call the agency to complain only to be told its the cheapest in the are. For the money i paid the owner could at least get new kitchen appliances and furniture. Won't be back.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, Evans Retreat is an older property, however it is kept clean and is offered at an affordable price. Yes, you need to bring a tea towel with you as sheets and towels are not provided at the unit, you have the option to either hire or bring these with you. This property is conveniently located across the road from Corlette Beach and close to local shops and amenities. Warm regards O'Meara Property Holiday Team
