Southport-Dandar

I stay in Motels & Pubs a few times a year & this is the first bad review in some years. I arrived at Southport-Dandar early just to drop my bags & it was then that I found out I had booked a bedroom in a house & not a motel or the usual type of accommodation. I was shown to a bedroom by Jason (who, it appears lives at the premises) & I asked if there was a key for the room. Jason said "No", so I kept my bags with me & left to do the couple of tasks I needed to do. On my return I was allowed to park my motorcycle on the driveway beside Jason's vehicle. When I carried my bags into the house there was a strong smell of faeces as if the toilet had not been flushed. I wanted a shower & the toilet used but not the reason for the smell. I knocked on Jason's door and asked him to find the reason for the smell & he said "Dad will do it in the morning". I went to my room. There was not a TV in my room or the lounger room, so I checked my email then I went to bed. Some time later I woke to find the bedroom door being opened, when I asked "Who is there" the door closed & I got up to lock the door. As soon as I woke on Wednesday morning I left the house more than 2 hours earlier than I needed to leave. I WOULD NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY AGAIN, even if I was paid me to stay. The Shower, Toilet & Vanity are shared - with Jason. & another's staying at this property. I did advise the online booking website on Wednesday morning & I have not heard from them since.

The room was so overpriced for what it was. We really felt like we were in a cupboard. The bathroom was mouldy, the 'coffee', 'sugar' and open jug of milk were all off. The 'garden view' was a pile of rubbish and tools. There was no communication and we turned up to a locked gate with no instruction. We will never stay again and do not recommend this place.

We stayed here for New Years Eve the room was very cosy bed very comfy value for money was very good Would recommend Dandar to anyone looking for a great room Anthony the host was very welcoming and did everything y he could to make us feel welcome
