Didn’t like the $500 bond we had to pay. Left us short for our holiday and didn’t get it back until we were home. No one else asked for a bond😞

Beautiful place to stay

Stayed in October 2023

Nothing

The cottage was awesome, very cute & had all these extra things, lots of kitchen appliances, toasty maker, coffee machine, rice cooker. TV, board games, books, beds were super comfy, bonus heated floor in the bathroom. Location was great very close to shops, supermarket & not too far away from Cataract Gorge & Penny Royal Adventures.

Fixed shower head. Some overdue stuff in the pantry can be removed / replaced.

A temporary stay with all the functions such as kitchen & laundry that a family needs with it’s beautiful styling, structure, and layout. Air-con is stable and quiet.

Toilet was not flushing when we arrived. This issue was fixed the following day after we arrived however it was not ideal for the period in between! Parking was also not easy during the day time hours due to people parking along the road who I assume worked at the hospital and/or adjacent businesses / down in the city centre.

Location was lovely, easy walking distance to great cafes / restaurants and the shopping complex where Coles is. House was spotless, very comfortable and very well equipped. The keyless entry was also great and very easy to use.

Nothing! Everything was perfect

A delightful cottage that was extremely comfortable for our 5 night stay. The garden is just beautiful. Very close to the heart of the city.

lovely warm cute

The cottage had been converted and had lost any of the character of the exterior. Very unimpressed that we were asked to put out the bins, full bins (none of our rubbish), down narrow, steep stairs without a handrail. Then to bring them up in the morning. None of us are young and this was quite the challenge. Owner needs to reconsider this expectation. I did text them back but received no reply - very unfriendly.

- bond was excessive - AC/heater was filthy. Having one main source of heating (located in the living room) was not ideal, as to control temp throughout the house, doors to bedrooms had to be kept open. Air vents available in bedrooms blew cold air only - doors were hard to operate, understand the age of the property but doors opening and securing doors could improve - door stopper in bathroom is very flimsy - no exhaust fan or window available in bathroom

- location was great, walking distance to the city - beds were comfortable for those who prefers soft mattress - home space has sufficient room for a small family (four at max) - keyless access makes for a convenient check in/out - welcome gift (bottle of wine and pack of timtams) was a nice touch. I would recommend offering sample sizes of local products (jam, crackers, cheeses) and a wine to compliment it - washer/dryer available on site - access to plenty of towels, cleaning products, pantry accessories - heated floor in bathroom, nice bath - small outdoor garden and the verandar - great spaces to have a cuppa or have some alone time

The outside area was disappointing, the gardens are unkempt & we had to clean spider webs that looked as though they had been there for months from the outdoor furniture. At this price point I don’t expect to have to clean up. The requirements for proving ID prior to check in are outrageous. I’ve never had to jump through so many hoops to book a property, treating guests as though they intend to damage a property is not a great way to start a holiday.

The location was great and the cottage well appointed

We arrived to find the bins out on the street and full of rubbish. The management company ,LAbode, made it very clear that we would be fined if we left rubbish behind. The communication with the management company,while frequent, was brusque to the point of rudeness. We will not book a property again, which is managed by this company.

The property was very clean and well appointed. The location was good being within walking distance to the city.

I have used booking.com for many years and never once had an issue. From the moment I booked Bluestone Cottage, the agent LAbode started spamming me with emails, I’ve counted 20 to date. They also took $500 from my credit card (which I had to supply the details otherwise they were canceling my booking) even thought I had already paid. They wanted lots of details about all the guests and then they had the audacity to send me a rude message saying I had to put the bins out on the street for bin day Monday otherwise they were going to charge us for leaving excess rubbish. We had to hump the bins down the slippery stone steps (we are all elderly) and it wasn’t even our rubbish as we had just arrived! I was disgusted by the impersonal and abrupt way they addressed me via email. If I ever book through booking.com again and LAbode is the agent I will cancel it immediately.

The location was perfect for what we needed. The cottage was lovely inside and out. All amenities were good.
