Cylinder Palms

Travelled with family and grandkids and a dog. House is well located and spacious but needing some TLC. Verandahs great although back verandah couldn't keep a kelpie in. Layout is good having 2 separate living spaces. Young grandkids managed the walk to the beaches well.

Cylinder Palms is a great beach house . Beautiful view and outlook
Kitchen well equipped. Awesome art on the walls .

Sadly cleanliness & maintenance lets it down considerably!!!
The fans in the bedrooms all need to be replaced .
The fans are old and slow - producing no air .
The home needs a massive spring clean , under the beds are super dusty , bathrooms need scrubbing .

We loved the design of the home - great for our family of 8 adults , toddler & dog.

Having a dog friendly house is brilliant but unfortunately the outdoor furniture is covered in dog hair .

We would stay again on the conditions it Is thoroughly cleaned before our arrival .
I definitely know we left it cleaner than when we arrived.

This property is in a fantastic location and is very spacious to accomodate two families comfortably.
Unfortunately the property need some maintenance, furniture upgrades. The linen on the beds were damp and filthy and the couch was full of dog hair and sand. The kitchen appliances, cupboards and draws were dirty.
The bedrooms came with a total of one coat hanger and the bedrooms did not have working ceiling lights or efficient fans.
This property has so much potential but needs a lot of work for the cost of staying there.

Lovely house in great location but has lots of maintenance problems that have never been fixed regardless of multiple bad reviews. Owners obviously do not care.

A very pleasant place to stay./

We loved this place because of its location and how open it was. Would recommend and will be staying again

The house was terrific, plenty of space but the kitchen could have been better equipped, plenty of crockery & cutlery but lacked pots and pans. The bifold windows and doors need some attention, very hard to open and close. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms were very much in need of a very good clean ... due to this I was rather disappointed on the cleanliness of the place. If the cleaning & maintenance issues are rectified this would be somewhere I would stay again and recommend.

A fabulous house that easily accommodated the 7 of us with dual living upstairs and down. Good location within walking distance to pub (all downhill) and then courtesy bus home. Has only partial sea views with a bit more from the whale watch deck. Beds comfy and decor great however fan in main room made a loud noise so very annoying. We were there in extremely hot Feb weather and although we could open up all sliding doors to verandahs, I would suggest the owners put some good ceiling fans in the living areas as it was really hot. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Great property with a open plan mirrored setup for upstairs and downstairs, which easily accommodates larger groups. Good views of water, which we could see whales swimming by. This is our second stay at this property and great for dogs. Pots and pans could use updating and wasn't the cleanest however this did not affect our amazing time at Straddie.

Needs maintenance and cleaning. Lovely house though. Has rodents in ceiling, cockies in draws, disgusting mattresses. Take your own pillows! Microwave is very weak, BBQ filthy-full of gunk. We had to wash the doona covers. All lounge cushions covered in dirt and dog hair! Who lets animals on furniture in a holiday rental!?? Food and mess under every bed, chair cushion, clothing drawers layered in mould and hair and dust. Took me days the clean. Oven and range hood not cleaned in years! Such a great house- completely neglected- not surprising that it didn’t sell. Lovely neighbours- Need to take the palms out but leave the ones near the road- lost all ocean views. I’d buy this place if the property had been better maintained! When I complained about lack of cleaning- they offered to come back to clean I declined because it’s obvious that the cleaners don’t know how! They turned up anyway and proceeded to not clean- a swish and swipe didn’t cut it! Then not another word or check up from Ray White! Not even a phone call to check! And we paid 4thousand dollars!

Great location, wonderful place for a family holiday

The house was a good size for 8 adults with 4 bedrooms and two living areas. The house was in a good position within easy walking distance to the shop and just a bit further to the beach.
Some of the furniture is a bit tired and could do with an upgrade. The house could also do with a good clean and a little bit of TLC but overall we had a good experience.

Overall we enjoyed the property but after arriving we discovered nearly all the crockery to be filthy. We had to pull it out off all the draws and wash it by hand as the dishwasher was broken. Then we discovered the door of the oven was broken and the gas bottle on the bbq was empty. Also about 6 lights weren't working or had no bulbs in them at all. The fan in the main bedroom squeaked which meant you couldn't sleep with it on. For the $2100 we paid for the five night stay we would expect a tidy, clean fully functioning house. Wouldn't you?

Great location with amazing views. We watched whales from the viewing platform and were greeted most mornings out the front with kangaroos. Process for check in was easy. The house had everything we needed. Only criticism would be was not overly clean(bathrooms were spotless) and the lounge was very old and uncomfortable. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay here.

This house is very spacious over two levels and has 3 really nice, new bathrooms. However, the beds were old and hard with no choice of bed linen alternatives, the pillows were haphazard sizes and yellow inside the we had poor sleep during our stay. The majority of the furniture is old and a bit tired - looks much better in the photos. There was hardly any view from the house and deck level, you had to climb up to a whale watching tower to see any water views or whales, so the photos were a bit misleading as this was one of the reasons we chose the house. The kitchen was well equipped but the drawers were cluttered and a bit dirty inside. There are 2 large smart TVs but the top level TV wouldn't connect to the internet and didn't have an aerial so at times the free to air viewing was patchy and distorted at night, although the ABC worked all the time. The house is in a great position, up high and close to everything, it has some good bones but needs a good spring clean and de-clutter and more comfy beds.

Great location and lovely modern spacious house which is great for a large family or group. I love the whale watching balcony and seeing the migration of the whales and the quite bush setting and easy access to the beach. Highly recommended!

Great large home great for 2 or 3 families! Plenty of space on both levels, great large verandas especially downstairs, huge bathrooms, lovely kitchen and sunny and bright. Easy check in. Highly reccomended !

Love this massive house, great for families. Such a convenient location just a short walk to beach and shops. Thanks for having us!

Great beach house for a family or group of people. Its has masses of living areas so everyone has lots of space, excellent kitchen that opens out onto a big deck. nice big bedrooms.

Great beach house for a large family or a group. Two big roomy living areas so everyone has their own space, lovely big open plan kitchen that opens up onto the deck, big roomy bedrooms, lots of lights and oceans views. We will be back

House has loads of space and everything you need for a special family holiday

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house. I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to many of my friends.

Great property very spacious and good views. We really liked the connection between the inside and outside space. It was also good to see the wildlife around with Kangaroos and Kookaburras visiting. Everything was clean and we certainly made use of the BBQ. Booking process and communication with Ray White was also very good.
