We experienced significant problems with the cleanliness of the property on arrival, with dust on side units and in cabinets, long and short (pet) black hairs on floors, long black hairs on beds and also in showers and baths.Clumps of hair had been pushed under chairs, and dishes had food stuck to them.Complaints were made to the property manager, and the cleaner was sent round again. This clean did not rectify the issues and we ended up having to clean for ourselves late on a Friday night.The property was poorly maintained, with broken Venetian blinds in one of the bedrooms, a bin in the kitchen without a lid which attracted insects to the waste and various handles missing off drawers / cupboards.Power points are at a premium with strangely lights being positioned in areas without power points next to them making them unusable.The accommodation was adequate, if a little cramped in the main lounge / kitchen area, as this area was full of furniture. The outdoor area is large with plenty of areas to sit and relax. The location is good with the beach only around 7/8 minutes away.The major issue we had with the stay was the attitude of the property manager, who would not take responsibility for the poor level of cleanliness or provide a refund of the cleaning fee when requested. The method of communication via a portal was impersonal with no names provided. It appeared that the service was outsourced as replies were often provided in the middle of the night.

I liked our stay here. The only fault was that the coffee machine does not work, the fridge and bar fridge is not cold enough and the was a funky smell upon entering the property. Other than that it is a well presented place and could easily accommodate 2 small families.

Ready Set - Stay away!
Bella Rye is as misleading as the label on the complimentary bottle of wine provided by the property managers—cheap and will leave a bad taste in your mouth. If you’ve ever dreamed of a holiday where the photos and listing are pure fiction, with broken outdoor furniture, a non-existent ice-maker, filthy bathrooms and a wildlife encounter with spiders, dead insects and an army of ants, this is the place for you!Omitted from the attractive photos and wording will be no Wi-Fi, barely one bar of Telstra reception, no smoke detector (because who follows fire regulations?), and cobwebs. Unclean top bedding will add an extra layer, so be wise and choose the "BYO sheets and towels” option to ensure you know those stains are yours. You can drown your sadness at being duped by a misleading listing, by stocking the wine fridge and cooking up a family meal in the kitchen that supplies everything. Just make sure you take the fridge cold setting off holiday mode before your food perishes on the first day!So, if overpriced disappointment is your idea of a holiday stay, Bella Rye has you covered!

Perfect
Amazing location close to beautiful bay. Effortlessly emjoyable for a day at the beach. Home is clean, well maintained and very comfortable for a family with great amenities, bedding, backyard and a relaxing sun filled deck. Host was friendly with great communication ensuring we settled in comfortably and easily.We will definately come back to stay.
Great location is the positive. No wifi in 2024 when remote working is a priority is a huge issue. We didn’t think to check as it’s such a basic requirement. Cleanliness was not up to standard. Limited power points, couldn’t plug in the laptop to comfortably work at the table. 3 star accommodation at best. But the dogs did enjoy the large yard.

Good outdoor space for dog and kids.
The home is small, warm and tidy. Great location close to the beach, shops and eateries.
The house is warm and has split systems in everyroom.
We made use of the pool table, the kids had a lot of fun on that.
The dog enjoyed the backyard and it was great she got to join our holiday.
The cooking facilities were great, plenty of utensils, everything you could possibly need, great stove top and oven.
The only issue we had was no bulbs in the lamps in two of the rooms.
Overall, its a nice spot. Was disappointed we didn't get to utilise it more due to the bad weather and sick kids.
