Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Very frustrated hot water took almost 18 hours to heat no gas in the BBQ
Tried to communicate to Louise but claimed I have done nothing but complain since being there because I turned the hot water on at 2 pm and at 930 pm water was still cold when my daughter wanted a shower went and paid for all this meat for the BBQ to get back and find no gas in the BBQ I don't think pictures should be taken of the BBQ if.it not working and when a person questions it and get told I do nothing but complain is very rude I just paid almost 3000 for a week and $80 on meat and house should be sprayed for spiders my kids and wife are scared of crawling insects and the house was very musty when we opened the door kids struggled to open shower door as it jammed at the bottom they didn't want to Break anything and last but not least the fridge is shocking freezer is fine but fridge does get cold enough

I went and stayed at Holy Cowes property last weekend, and was a perfect little place for what the kids and I needed. Easy to walk into town, or go to RSL, nice quiet location. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Louisa.

Disappointed
Although in a convenient location close to the main strip, we were disappointed with our stay at this property. The property is dated, tired and had a musky smell throughout. Upon check in we found cobwebs in the corner of nearly every room. We felt uncomfortable putting our two young children to sleep in a bedroom filled with cobwebs. There were cobwebs above the fridge, in the bathroom and in the lounge room. There were stains on the couch and the outdoor table looked like it had not been cleaned in weeks. Upon making contact with the owner she told me the property had been professionally cleaned to two days ago. I found this strange as we had asked for an early check in but were declined as there were people checking out that morning so unsure why the property was not cleaned on the same day that we were checking in. The owner although initially tried to solve for the issue at hand soon became condescending by telling me that spiders were part of nature and that no one had ever called her to complain about spiders webs. She said that is was not a high end property but this does not justify the cleanliness or the fact that the house was filled with cobwebs which were more than a couple of days old. We have travelled all around the world in a variety of different types of accommodation and have never checked into a property looking like this or been spoken as customers in this tone. If it was not a public holiday long weekend we would have found somewhere else to stay but were left with no choice.
