    Cameron B from NA recommends this vacation rental

    Thank you for hosting us at your property. The house itself was fantastic and provided a great setting for our getaway. However, I wanted to share some feedback that could help improve future stays for your guests.

    Kitchen Utensils: We were surprised to find no forks available for us to use, and we had to purchase our own. This was unexpected and slightly inconvenient.
    Spa Lid: We were advised to keep the spa covered, but there was no lid present upon arrival. Unfortunately, this meant the spa couldn’t maintain its temperature during our stay.
    Missing Batteries: Several remote controls were missing batteries, making it difficult to use certain features.
    Spa Instructions: We tried to use the spa’s bubbles feature, but the instructions provided were inaccurate, and we couldn't get it to work.
    These are relatively small details but collectively impacted our overall enjoyment of the stay.

    Lastly, we were approached by the neighbors within the first five minutes of our arrival, asking us to turn off the lights and be mindful of our usage. While we understand the importance of being respectful, this initial interaction wasn’t the warmest way to start our holiday. That said, by the end of our stay, the neighbor mentioned that we were the best guests they’ve had, which we truly appreciated.

    Thank you for considering this feedback, as we believe addressing these minor issues could make future guests’ experiences even better. Despite these hiccups, we had a memorable time and appreciate your efforts in hosting us.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay. We’re thrilled to hear that you found the house fantastic and that it provided a great setting for your getaway. Your comments about the kitchen utensils, spa lid, remote batteries, and spa instructions are invaluable, and we truly apologize for any inconvenience caused. Regarding the kitchen utensils, particularly the absence of forks, we regret this oversight and will ensure the kitchen is fully stocked for future guests. We are also arranging for a replacement lid for the spa to maintain its temperature effectively and will review the instructions to ensure they are accurate and user-friendly. We appreciate you bringing the issue with the remotes to our attention; we’ll check all devices to ensure they are in working order. As for your interaction with the neighbors, we’re sorry to hear that it started on an awkward note but are glad it ended on a positive one. We’ll take steps to ensure guests feel welcomed and informed while also maintaining good relations with the community. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and kind words. We’re pleased you had a memorable time, and we hope to welcome you back in the future with an even better experience!

    a guest from Rouse Hill, NSW recommends this vacation rental

    Overall experience was great - the property was exactly as shown in the pictures, clean and the view was amazing and very spacious for 11 of us. We had a few issues - 1. Unprofessional staff: Some of towel was located on the bed while some of them were hidden underneath bed sheets and we had 1 towel missing that I rang the office next day and Sam (if I recalled right) asked me to count the towel and when I called him 2nd time, he said we have the right number of towel because I updated guest agreement for the number of 10. I found it was not professional and definitely not the best customer experience. I should not and also do not want to count the towel when I'm on holiday and paid a fair amount of money for the accommodation, not to mention this property has 3 levels. This was quite disappointing as I found all of staffs were quite friendly and professional. The second issue was the air conditioner/heater was not working in the 2nd bedroom on the middle floor but we managed to sleep.

    As there was 7 Adult Men all sharing the house for the purpose of a Cox Plate Weekend it was absolutely spot on for a group of our size. The location and view is Spectacular and all bedding was more than adequate. The kitchen and bathrooms were of top standard. Nothing within the house is of a low standard but of the highest to the extreme. We will definitely be re booking again next year.

    This property is amazing and accurate to the advertising and photos. It had a stunning view from all windows, comfy beds, a well equiped kitchen and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the many living spaces and balconies. Access is via a steep driveway and parking space is limited if you have a large group. The property also has many stairs.
    We had a memorable stay at the Pinnacle and hope to return.
