Does what it says on the tin - and more

Great pet friendly motel for an overnight stay. The interior is amazing, beds are super comfortable - great full kitchen. The outdoor semi private courtyard with grassed area was amazing. Nice and quiet at night

Disappointed

We did not get what was advertised on stayz. Quite angry actually. Advertised as fully renovated but while the kitchen and living room were great the bedroom and bathrooms were dumps. We were supposed to get a semi private outdoor living area. It looks like only one apartment there has this and we did not have any outside living areas. As this is one of the major things we look for when renting we were obviously angry. In NSW the tenancy laws make it illegal not to provide what is advertised and you can be struck of the landlord register. Additionally, the bins have not been emptied in ages and the flies were horrific. On arrival the room smelt musty but an attempt to air it was forestalled as there were no fly screens. We also attempted to take a couple of chairs outside to sit outdoors as we like this and look for it but as the bins and the flies were right at the front of our apartment we found this too uncomfortable. Together with this I left the fridge cleaner than I found it and the couch had food stains. We entered through a lockable door which apartment 8 and 9 shared. Then we entered through another door to apartment 8 which we could lock while we were inside but could not lock when we went out as there was no key. Presumably then someone from apartment 9 could enter ours when we were out. The furniture was comfortable but extremely shabby. The products and linen supplied were lovely. All in all I felt like I was staying in a work in progress and not a fully renovated apartment as advertised with minimal care in upkeep.

Not ready for Stayz listing

I hope this renovated motel room is considered a work in progress, as it has a way to go before it is ready for letting at the price we paid for three nights. While we very much appreciated the comfortable bed, the new well-equipped kitchen and the new access to the outdoor area at the back of the unit, the rearrangement means that there is now too much crammed into a small space. Of greatest concern were the unfinished floors -- stepping out of bed onto broken concrete and gathering resultant grit on your feet, and standing on broken concrete in the kitchen sink really isn't good. Having paid a cleaning fee, we were a little surprised to have to wipe fingerprints and even some food dribbles from some of the beautiful new cupboard doors; and the TV screen was filthy, as was the extender arm behind the TV. I hope the next occupant benefits from our cleaning fee. Although there are good blackout blinds on the front windows, there is nothing to stop light coming in the frosted glass front door just at the foot of the bed. I guess that's tolerable most of the time, but when you have a group of people moving around just along from your door having a long conversation packed with expletives at about midnight, as we did one night, their movement triggered the sensors of the outside lights which kept on going on and off and shining brightly into our unit. There are also no bug screens on the back door or any of the windows, so if you try to be green and use natural ventilation, you must entertain a few flies in your unit too. The total lack of any management presence onsite in the three days we were there means that there is a general feeling of neglect around the property. There was no-one there to clean up the large dog poo piles on the grass outside our back door; a chair and alcopop can sat unattended on the walkway along from our unit for 36 hours; no-one cleared the gravel washed onto the steps by recent rains so you had to be careful where you put your feet, or use the clear alternative a few units along. Although some effort has been made to clear an area at the back of each unit for guests' use, the front of the property has mounds of rubble, unattractive rubbish bins to one side, a driveway that needs attention, and an ancient rundown sign that makes you wonder whether you've arrived at the right place -- all signs that this is a very much work in progress. Doesn't the high Stayz service fee ensure some vetting of new listings?
