No garden maintenance the front weeds were nearly as tall as myself we had to cut weeds on the path leading to the jetty as it was overgrown and a slip hazard which i have proof of. The BBQ was completely rusted and unusable. We were not allowed to park our cars in the garage. The house was clean. The company withholds the bond for a minimum of 14 days as they don't inspect the property regularly and are not easy to communicate with. Apart from that could be a lovely property to stay in if maintenance.
