Scout

Scout was absolutely brilliant. It was beautifully presented, architecturally first class and more than everything that was needed. It could not be recommended more highly.

The design and furnishings at Scout are unique, totally luxurious and stunning. The view is lovely and the place has an open, warm and inviting ambience. We loved all the special inclusions like the record player, wine and loft area. The communication from the hosts was proactive (quite a few emails in the lead up) and prompt when we needed assistance. However, there are a few teething issues that impacted our stay eg. - No aircon (heating/cooling is through the floor which was inadequate during our summer stay) - Minimal blinds (again, necessary in summer perhaps but would impact aesthetic) - Poor water pressure throughout - Dysfunctional baths (far too big to use/fill) - Minimal inclusions in the kitchen A case of form over function, perhaps. (NOTE: The host was notified of these issues and tried to rectify them where possible with fans etc). Also, the house is a lot further away from the main township than I realised (not walkable) - my bad. Would we recommend it? If money is no issue, yes primarily because of its design. However, there might be similarly beautiful and perhaps more comfortable options elsewhere that cost a lot less.
