Best stay ever
This house was an absolute treat. The property was perfect and in great condition. We didn’t have any issues at all and our host Steve was phenomenal! This house is situated perfectly in Townsville and is relatively close to the city. I would recommend staying here and will 100% be coming back !

Not the best experience
Normally I wouldn’t typically write a review, but given our experience I felt compelled to do so. Initial impressions were good, however these were short lived. The property is far from described in the listing and starting to show its age since it’s last renovation. Simple things like doors not closing and general wear and tear not being maintained to name a few things. Cleanliness was poor, furniture and carpets/rugs are stained as were the sheets in one of the bedrooms and the dooners in most rooms. The bathrooms were moldy and pubes and hair remains were on the floors and shower bases/drains. The security of the property was poor with the back door not locking and the locked front door able to be opened from the outside through the side shutters. Steve the host did get these fixed the next day after numerous attempts to contact him. The property sleeps 8 people, however only enough dishes and cutlery for 5 people. Other touches of convenience were simply not there. We stayed for a week, however only 3 dishwasher tablets were provided, no dish cloth, lacking rolls of toilet paper etc, the small things which are expected for a longer stay, but not provided. The air conditioners on the three side bedrooms stopped working during our third day, and again Steve the host was most difficult to communicate with and were not fixed for over 2 nights. Steve inaccurately describes himself as a super host, however we found him to be rude and a very poor communicator. The location of the property is convenient, however the listing doesn’t mention the proximity to the salt water mangroves and the sand flies that go with it. The house has no flyscreens, but a note on the wall in the kitchen from the host points out there is aeroguard and fly spray provided for the guests convenience. This is not a property I would want to stay at again especially for the amount of money paid.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept 2023
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review. Sorry to hear you didn't have an enjoyable stay. I did try to resolve any issues. The air-conditioner unfortunately had an issue on a public holiday so yes there was a 2 day delay because of this and it was resolved immediately the day after. From time to time there are issues at houses I can only action them as I am made aware.

Not set up to cater for the number advertised.
Pretty property. Too congested for 7 adults. Lounge area for three only. Given proximity to mangroves nearby outside areas were not able to be utilised comfortably.

GREAT!!!!!!
This property was fantastic for family of 5. Visiting for a family 90th, convenient meeting place for all the family. Extremely comfortable, clean and central location. Steve’s communications were always prompt and obliging. Certainly a great place and would definitely stay again. Thank you

Gorgeous House!
My only regret is we couldn’t stay in the gorgeous setting longer than just one night. We’ll just have to come back!

This beautiful home did not disappoint!
We arrived at the tail end of the floods but were at ease as Steve (owner) checked out the property for us and had great communication! The house is beautiful and has been renovated with style! Airconditioning was greatly appreciated with the high humidity and made relaxing with a netflix movie all the better. The house was clean and had all the comforts of home away from home. Will happily go back for my next Townsville trip!

Five star accommodation
We could want for nothing more. The house was clean and tidy and the owner was extremely hospitable. An added bonus was having my pet stay at the property. It was a home away from home. I highly recommend the property to anyone who wishes to be accommodated in a house that is pet friendly. I also stayed in the same owners house in 14A Primrose St, North Ward which was prestigious. Great location and plush furniture and fittings. Highly recommended.

Great property, we loved our stay
We had a full house and found the property fantastic, it was clean and well appointed. Amazing value and the location was awesome with the city, strand and flinders street only a couple of minutes away. It contributed to a very memorable trip and we look forward to our next stay!

Great place to stay
Had a lovely stay, the house is beautiful and well set up with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, only a couple of kilometers from the CBD and The Strand. Would recommend this to anyone who wanted room to move and relax.

Great stay. Would definitely return.
We had a great stay and would come back again. The property was very clean and tidy and presented beautifully. There were lots of little touches that made the stay very comfortable such as Netflix, Wifi, even things like bug spray and body wash which made the place feel like home. It was a short drive to The Strand and had local parks to take the dogs for a walk. The property is fully fenced along with privacy from the neighbours which suited our dogs. The house was very spacious with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Thank you for having us! We would definitely return in the future.
