    A worry but with potential

    Great Location although a little hard to find down a muddy road through a paddock

    No fire alarm. No flue on the gas heater. Cereal packs open. No 240 volts. Half the lights don’t work. Very steep stairs. Soft bed. Bathroom floor rotted out. Worn out lounge furniture. Shoddy finishes and floors. Dilapidated gang way and outside decks, Insecure door locks ( simple internal type door locks) didn’t meet my expectations. I feel it is a disaster waiting to happen
