I don’t want to sound rude but this is the first time I left an accommodation. Beds were dusty, bins were unchanged, shared toilets, sheets weren’t even changed. There were loud noises expected to last til 1:00 am when I was told by staff it would be “minimal”. To my surprise, the bin inside my room wasn’t even changed. It was an absolute chaos. I lodged a refund request with my insurer. The staff were friendly but you can tell all the guests there felt trapped in the middle of nowhere. We had to cut the loss and leave. Fortunately we found an accommodation somewhere in Dandenong. I will never go back. The photos in the ad don’t even clearly depict what you will see when you arrive. The place was absolute chaos. The entry and exit points were dodgy. I felt really unsafe aside from the noise and sanitation issues.
