Soldiers Cove Luxury Retreat♡

Disappointing

2.0

Fantastic location, overall the house presents really well, clean and spacious.

− Unfortunately the overall maintenance of the property was really poor. The pool was visibly dirty, with the skimmer basket full of leaves and an old pool toys, the automated pool cleaner did not appear to be working. We were informed prior to our arrival that the air conditioning was not working at the property and fans where available which worked well considering it was a cooler weekend. The hot water system was not working, we had to have cold showers/baths as a plumber was not available to attend the property over the weekend. The cooker in the kitchen only had two ring hobs working. The property manager was notified of the hot water issues and tried to trouble shoot advice over a phone call and then proceeded to inform me that she is having a lot of issues with this property.

Overall we had a great time at the house. It was well located and we enjoyed walks outdoors.

Beautiful outlook and location. The pool was a bonus for the family.

− Juat a couple of minor things, (ie. BBQ not cleaned thoroughly ) which didn't detract from the overall positive experience . The house was spacious, light ,comfortable and nicely decorated.

Excellent location, beds were very comfortable, upstairs bedroom was very luxurious.

Location was outstanding, walking distance to central Mandurah along the estuary, lovely view of the park & waterways.

− The kitchen layout was awkward. Not enough tea towels for an 8 day stay.

Location, location, location, great views and walking paths just across the road. Loved the large size of the house. The pool was amazing. Loved the upstairs bath. The aircon works fast, which was needed as the house was very hot and unpleasant to walk into on arrival. I loved that the house was not only dog friendly, but also had dog bowls inside and outside the house, great little touch.

− The single beds were smaller than expected and therefore the teenagers had their feet hanging over the edge. Although we went above the cleaning requirements and took all towels and tea towels (from bottle and top floors) to the laundry, saving the cleaners time and effect to collect them, we did forget to place the bins on the side of the road (30 second job), therefore we still got charged the $55 regardless, there were a lot of warnings on this, so that's on us. There were a couple of kitchen bowls with cracks, that could not be used. The theatre remain hot, regardless of the aircon and the fan did not work, however we did stay on days with 35+ degree heat. Book shelves and shelving areas were had spider webs over the items.
