Neat and tidy for our overnight stay. Comfortable bed, nice size room. Convent location not far from most places without the high price tag.
Villa 6 was dirty and not well maintained. Basic facilities. Freezer badly needed defrosting. No broom or dustpan and brush to enable us to clean. Kitchen sink plug old and not watertight. No washing up brush or cloth - only a tea towel!!
Would certainly NOT recommend staying in Villa 6
Great view and location. Unfortunately its not only quite rundown (TV and eifi didnt work) its also barely cleaned at all from previous people. At least there were clean sheets, thats the best i can say. Tolerable only for 2 nights.

We couldn't get the Tv to work and the property was bit run down but the accommodation while old was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable so as a place to stay while traveling it was fine

Arrived late and in dark. Signage to various cottages would have been of great assistance. Older built accommodation but clean tidy comfortable and well appointed.
The location of the resort was amazing and the views from the cottage is breathtaking. Also, the close proximity of the city centre and nearby attractions is an added advantage. However, the place itself was slightly worn down. We noticed that it wasnt thoroughly cleaned when we arrived. The sheets had been changed and that was pretty much it. We enjoyed our stay there; however a quick vaccum and mopping before would have been even nicer. Overall, it is budget friendly and in a perfect location.
The place was actually really nice, but it could definitely do with a good clean before guests arrive. The cups were all stained, the screen door didn’t close or lock fully and there were cobwebs around the windows and at the seating on the veranda. The TV didn’t work and the batteries were all rusted. If the little things were fixed and cleaned, it would have got a 5 star rating.

I did not look at the reviews till we got there
FAULTY TOWERS experience with no one on site
This place needs a massive update to fix all the faulty problems and a good clean in every room
to bring this place up to scratch

Nice views, nice bed, nice unit.
No teaspoons, holes in gauze door/windows, internet password didn't work, broken/aged/dilapidated outdoor furniture
The place needs a lot of TLC. It seem neglected. However has so much potential if looked after. The pictures are misleading

Would not recommend to others but would go back myself. Like camping. Cost is high for what you get. Kangaroos running around.
Clear glass lets stranger look into the shower and toilet. Needs frosted glass. Highlight windows have no curtains so full light at dawn. TV was not set up properly when we arrived. I had to fiddle with the cables to find the right connections. Worked eventually to our relief.
There were various bugs/inspects in the beds, benches, drawers. Cups were particularly dirty (didn't look washed at all). The fact some windows wouldn't close completely and didn't have fly-wire screens probably contributed to the bugs.
Spiders and cobwebs everywhere. Bath towels ripped with holes. I would recommended not advertising this place through Expedia. Needs a lot of work and maintenance and should be shut down if can’t operate properly
Don’t waste your money here. Walked in, not a soul to be found. Yards and gardens were overgrown and buildings very run down. The room was dirty, unwashed poo stains on bedding and other suspect stains on lounge and pillows. Dirty toilet and kitchen. Got in the phone and told them it’s gross and we wouldn’t be staying. I was told they’d organise a refund. Still waiting a week and a half later ( and yes I made a follow up phone call). Should be shut down.
