Did NOT feel safe. We stayed in the “ground floor apartment” and there were 2 sets of ground level windows that DID NOT LOCK. The windows are at waist level and it would be super easy to climb through while the guest is away to take valuables (no lock box or safe!) or to break into the room while guests are sleeping. There is also a door in the bathroom with just a press button lock that went right to the outside. Those locks are ridiculously easy open from the outside. There is a fence around the property, but because there is limited staffing, the fence is always unlocked. Easy access for anyone! My husband said it felt “murder-y.”
Maybe the area is safe, but how would a guest know? A few simple fixes like locking windows or a wooden dowel in the window track plus a deadbolt in the bathroom would’ve made a huge difference. We ended up putting some sticks we found on the property in the window tracks to keep them from opening and rigging up the door in the bathroom. I’ve traveled in some sketchy places and had to do that, but I was not expecting to pay $632AUD/night for the privilege. What a joke.
I’m sure there are positives to the place. Who knows. I remember thinking it looked cute when we showed up, but all of that was outweighed by how unsafe it felt - at least in the ground floor apartment. Maybe the other rooms in the place are safer? I wouldn’t recommend this AT ALL and will continue to spread the word about how unsafe it is in hopes that the owners make changes.
