All OK in the suburbs
Felt the property was a long way out of the city area and places of interest. Better fitting linen would have been appreciated. House was immaculately clean. Would have liked the two bathrooms to be more accessible. Nice quiet area.

Good location & comfortable house size for our group of 7.
Very disappointed with the check in process, did not receive check in code & had to wait for more than an hour for entry. Unable to contact host. Three failed attempts to contact Stayz (Call centre in Phillipines) & finally received code on the fourth attempt. Inside of house relatively clean, however, we were disappointed with the exterior. The 1st 2 days were very warm & we wanted to sit outside, however, the outdoor setting was falling apart & the standard of the garden was poorly maintained. Lacked some basic maintenance inside and out.

Great space, large lounge and family rooms, reasonably equipped, needs a full length mirror installed, perhaps on the back of the bathroom door. Water pressure in the showers was poor. No top sheets on the beds

Room for Improvement
We always provide an honest appraisal of properties in which we stay, with input from all of us. We stayed in this house for 1 week, there were 8 in our group, 5 adults, 3 children. Firstly the house is clean and spacious, the heating works well and we never ran out of hot water. The location is quiet, there is a garage which we didn't use as there is no internal access. The house is reasonably comfortable, some basic supplies were provided. The younger children enjoyed the 'toy room', keyless entry is a good idea. On the negative side, the furnishings, the kitchen and the bathrooms are really 'dated'. The beds are firm and not particularly comfortable. But by far the worst aspect for us was the kitchen, with such limited facilities we struggled to be able to feed 8 people for a whole week. There is no provision of even the simplest of equipment such as a rice cooker, an air fryer, vegetable steamer, or even a baking tray to use in the oven. Any or all of these would have made our life so much easier. The microwave is so small its useless, the oven takes forever to get warm, as does the stove. And if it can't be fried or boiled, sorry you don't eat because we only had pots and frypans available. Needless to say, we had to resort to takeaways some days which is not what we wanted to do. And last but not least, toilet paper on the table instead of tissues-really?? We've stayed in lots and lots of accommodation from cruise ships to penthouses, and that's a first for us. Not impressed.

Comfortable, neat house in McKellar
We were looking for a place to stay near our daughter in Bruce and the amenities in Belconnen that had space for our bicycles, and this lovely house fit the bill perfectly. It was very comfortable, warm (thanks to the new central reverse-cycle system), clean and had all the space and facilites that we needed for our 1 week stay. The location was quiet and pleasant and suited us perfectly. Alex was a great host who responded to our questions almost immediately. Next time we come to Canberra to visit our daughter we're definitely staying here again!
