Good Spaces and view but cleanliness and maintenance lacking
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is spacious with seperate downstairs area with kitchen. The tv room with large electric chairs was a hit. Unfortunately the cleanliness of most cupboards was poor with mould on some curtains and the windows need cleaning. The kitchen has is equipped with the basics but no food storage containers, no gladwrap, foil, or other basics. The house needs some maintenance attention as well.

The bottom queen bedroom quilt had blood stains, the main lounge room pillows had stains, the upstairs shower handle was on the floor when we arrived - hard to use. Kitchen needs a Reno. Overall happy experience.

Great house for two families
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our families loved the movie room and the deck. The dishwasher is too small for the size of the house and we had no hangers in any of the 5 wardrobes. The washing machine also broke. The house has huge potential but it’s also alittle too far outside town.

Impressive Location
The overall property was great, the lay out of the house is ideal especially for families with kids of various ages, media room was a bonus. Our only concern was the overall cleanliness of the property, seriously wasn't up to scratch for a high end home as it is advertised / needs a thorough clean ... The Property needs some TLC as well , as we had a problem with one of the glass sliding door ( missing screws so frame was coming away from the glass ) and falling curtain rods in one of the bedrooms ... Once some of these issues are fixed the property would be excellent for a family holiday.

Family weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property worked really well for us with everyone enjoying their privacy when needed and separate bathrooms were great too. The cinema room was fun as well and the outlook was lovely. The house was clean and comfortable. Things the property could use are coat hangers. We couldn’t find any which was annoying. Kitchen basics like foil and cling wrap would have been helpful. We didn’t think we should have had to bring our own coffee pods to a luxury property. Those little extras make a difference when you’re staying somewhere nice. All said, a great experience for everyone.

Beautiful place, with issues
The home is lovely and in a gorgeous location. It is well laid out with plenty of breakaway space. Sadly, there seems to be a lack of attention to the details of the home, and there were a number of issues with general cleanliness. Unfortunately the house was badly appointed and also in need of a lot of maintenance work: for example, issues with plumbing; only one tiny dishwasher to service 10 people; broken media room chairs; curtain rail hanging out of the wall; broken and ill-fitting window blinds; large hole in flyscreen; washer/dryer was smelly and not functioning properly; ill-fitting toilet seat that leaves you sitting on porcelain; zero amenties in the downstairs kitchen, etc. etc. making this a way less than 'luxury' stay. As we didn't want to spend the week with a house full of cleaners and maintenance people we chose to wait until after we left to notify the agent, who was responsive and professional. A previously unmentioned caveat which we found odd was that we were expected to clean the floors before leaving, a surprise particularly given the premium price we paid! The beds were very comfortable, and overall we had a nice family holiday, but our stay was somewhat marred by issues that should have been obvious to any staff that are cleaning the house; or are to do with inadequate fittings/amenties/ill considered policies which could be easily addressed. I hope that our honest feedback will enable the cleaners and owners to make the effort to bring the accommodation up to the ‘luxury’ standard that was promised for the next people who choose to stay at Seascape Retreat – it really is a lovely property that just needs a little care and attention.

Great family holiday at Seascape Retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a well-set-out home for a three-generational family holiday, with enough room for everyone to have their own space and quiet time. The theatre room was fantastic, and three separate lounge rooms were handy. The beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing.

Only thing that made our stay a little uneasy was the step down into the threater room and the lip into the bathroom45 (Two elderly people that were staying both missed the massive drop and fell down and hitting themselves on the chair)

Great Space and Views but Tired Home
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home with amazing views and ample space for large or multiple families. Disappointingly, the house was dirty. Kitchen especially. Dishwasher was only a half size and there were 11 of us for three days. Limited salad bowls/platters and utensil drawers were really grotty. Whole place needs a good clean. On arrival, the previous guests’ used towels were left inside the front door and smelt. Bedding configurations weren’t arranged as requested. Blinds in bedrooms were ill fitting. Attempts to communicate with house agency were unsuccessful. I would recommend if these things were improved as it’s a fabulous location but needs attention.

The only tip for future guests I'd give is that while the kitchen is well equipped to feed many people the dishwasher is very small (not a standard size).

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: Beautiful house with spacious clean bedrooms and generous living space to relax, balcony provides ample space for relaxing and eating with superb views of water through treetops. Kitchen very minimal/bare eg. no cling wrap or foil, not an entertainers kitchen. No condiments, no toiletries provided for the price paid.Be mindful for a few steep roads as you approach the property as it is treetop, and at time of stay construction noise from next door property.
