We recently stayed at this riverside home with my 85-year-old mother, and while the property itself was clean and nicely decorated inside, there were several important things future guests should know.Firstly, the listing didn’t mention that there are very steep stairs leading to the yard and river area, as well as a steep driveway. This made access quite difficult for us, especially given our ages and my elderly mother’s mobility. We had advised the host of this in advance, but it wasn’t mentioned that access could be challenging.One of the main reasons we booked was the beautiful “Bali Hut” by the river, but unfortunately, it was infested with spiders and the furniture fabric was quite dirty, so we couldn’t really enjoy it.We also had issues with both TVs, which were very temperamental. It wasn’t easy for us to manage having to climb on a chair to reach the power points behind them and reset things multiple times.On a positive note, the interior of the house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and the welcome Pina Colada cocktail gift was a lovely touch.However, our hope for a peaceful riverside retreat was interrupted by neighbours mowing lawns and using power tools on what ended up being the nicest weather day of our stay — something outside the host’s control, but still disappointing.Overall, while the home itself has potential, the lack of accessibility details, outdoor upkeep, and minor technical issues made it less enjoyable for us than we’d hoped.
