We were disappointed with this accommodation, the apartment is dark & cluttered with bulky, well-worn furniture, dusty fake flower arrangements and assorted ornaments, old dark pictures on the walls and all the appliances are very old. The whole apartment presents as a storage place for all things the owners wish to keep, resembling a second-hand shop. Although the cost is comparable with this region, the following updates & fixes would justify the price being charged: • We expected breakfast provisions for the first morning • No basics are provided, apart from Instant coffee, Tea bags, S&P. Cooking oil, sauces etc should be provided, these would be left by previous guests but obviously not left in accommodation • Coffee machine - Update old dripper to a coffee pod machine with a selection of coffee pod types • TV - Very old and there is only local free to air channels, streaming should be available, WiFi slow and did not always work • Cooking equipment - One large saucepan, no lid, a large stockpot, stainless steel frypan • Kitchen equipment -Two (2) only drinking glasses, 3 wine glasses & 2 flutes • The crockery & cutlery is all a mismatched • Opening the plastics drawer provides an odour of stale plastic • Laundry toilet seat needs properly securing • BBQ, old dusty & fatty, needs a good clean, or better still replacement • Outside area - Needs more privacy from other guests coming & going and table needs upgrading, surface of metal chairs is badly chipped, umbrella is too small to provide adequate shade • Main bed - Old, creaks when getting in and out of bed with worn-out soft mattress • Wardrobe - Has 4 usable coat hangers & the drawers & shelves are full of bedding supplies making no room for guests clothing etc. The included bottle of wine, a white from New Zealand, should be a bottle of Barossa Valley wine. We could not recommend and would not choose this accommodation next time.
