We didnt get to stay at the property as they had double booked the room. We were told the owner was overseas and would not be back for a month so we will have to wait for our review for a refund. We had stayed there in the past it is unfortunate that it is run like this and their checks and balances on bookings is lacking. We were there for a family matter, as we had nowhere to stay and had flown in from the Gold Coast, we then had to get ready for the occasion in our rental car. We managed to find an apartment in Geelong that was expensive as you would expect. Lucky for that or we would have had to sleep in our rental car. Very Very dissapointed. See how we go with our refund in the future when the owner finally gets back from Overseas in a months time.
