Adelaide
The ‘fourth bedroom’ was a bed in a corridor which didn’t have 4 solid walls so the inaccurate description meant we booked and paid for a house which was completely unsuitable for our family. This house had many beds but not 4 separate bedrooms (which is the main criteria I used to book it) and we were unable to watch tv or use the 2nd bathroom after our youngest child went to bed. The front gate, dishwasher and BBQ were not functioning.

My sister and my family with adult children stayed for 4 nights. It was tight from a sleeping perspective. The place had plenty of space to lounge and live though. Ideal for families with younger kids.
