Osprey Holiday Village Unit 124

First stayed in these units when they were new in the 90's and this one is certainly looking a bit tired now. It was perfectly clean and furnished cheaply to basic level, but the single beds are rock hard and the mezzanine floor, which is 'bedroom 3', is unusable in the warmer months as there's only a floor fan, no aircon, and the unit in living area has no effect up there. There's no conventional oven and, like other reviewers we couldn't get the microwave to work properly. If there's a trick to this, maybe leave out instructions, otherwise it needs replacing ASAP. A cold tap in main shower also needs looking at. Turn it too far and it falls off. Most noticeable though was the lack of any small additions that could have improved the place a great deal. A few pantry basics, a water jug for the fridge, extra pillows, more bedside lamps, good window coverings etc. (I found myself making a mental list of what it lacked!). Aside from noisy Friday nights at The Potshot, the villa is well located and the pool was nice when we used it. However, frustratingly, it just needs a relatively small investment to make this place a whole lot nicer.

Great location, spacious and a very good floor plan that suited our group perfectly. Probably fair to say that it was better than we expected in terms of the size. Well designed units, we will look to stay again when heading to Exmouth

Unit was not as clean as I expected. Had no dryer even though the add stated one. Saw cockroaches crawling in the kitchen and facilities were old and in need of an upgrade. The bathroom had mould and the tiles in the shower were slippery.

Opposite pub with very loud music until late. Air conditioning units could not be controlled properly. Unit had not been cleaned adequately. Overall environment of units uninviting

Very good stay would recommend to others

The property was in a good location and reasonably quiet apart from one night when the bar across the street had some sort of event where appallingly loud music pounded into our head relentlessly until midnight. I was surprised at how poorly equipped it was, did not have anywhere near the amenities we are used to having at all the other places we've stayed at; and we travel a lot. There wasn't even so much as a teabag or instant coffee sachet, there was no salt, no sugar, no paper towel, only one toilet roll, no laundry detergent, no little portions of UHT milk, no cling wrap and the minimally supplied kitchen had no intact plastic containers--2 had no lid and the 3rd which was too big for most uses had a melted poorly fitting lid. There was only one extra rubbish bag and no face cloths, not a drop of any soap, shower gel or any other bathroom amenity! Thankfully the washing machine worked well or we wouldn't have had enough towels for our stay. We had to buy absolutely everything for the unit and I was quite shocked by that, nothing like what we are used to and I think quite inhospitable. I would not stay here again.

Excellent accommodation, couldn’t ask for a better setup for an awesome beach vacation.Thank you Daniel.

Hi all was fine thank you

Loved it, the mezzanine gets a bit warm, but cools down with A/C and fan. Great location, easy access to shops,and local attractions

A great base to explore

Needs oven, otherwise good value. Couple of bulbs need replacement, left gets warm without ventilation.

Decent sized space with queen bedroom and twin bedroom down stairs and mezzanine level with open-plan queen and single beds upstairs. I imagine mezzanine will bake in Summer as no a/c unit other than from what’s blowing downstairs in lounge room, in winter it was stuffy by the end of the day. A fan is provided on mezzanine to circulate air. House was tidy and kitchen reasonably well stocked, could use a jug in the fridge for cold water. The bathroom towel rack was promptly fixed and replaced when mentioned it was broken to homeowner, much appreciated. Microwave wasn’t working and never fixed/replaced. Stovetop and bbq both working fine. It’s a quiet villa even though adjacent the main street. With a few little fixes/updates I’d give this villa 4 out of 5 stars instead of 3.

Excellent location. Walking distance to shops etc. Quiet property.

Amazing aircon! But, beds weren’t made up properly- no inners in duvet covers. Microwave, dryer, beach towels and garage listed but not provided! Hairdryer would be nice. Convenient location.

Lots of room for lots of luggage. Extremely comfortable for a long stay. I loved the spacious fridge in a kitchen large enough for baking. The internal laundry with washing machine made washing very easy. I felt very secure in this cabin when the edge of cyclone Sean passed through.

Really great accomodation, we all had such a great time. Thanks

Overall the property was nice. However the ad states three bedrooms, 1 “bedroom” is an open upstairs loft which was extremely hot and had no aircon. The main AC down stairs didn’t cool this upstairs area which made sleeping difficult. 1 bathroom is actually outside. The indoor shower has two shower heads however only one worked and the other dripped constantly. There was mould in the shower. Ad states kids dinnerware but there was only plastic cups. The convection oven was difficult to use and the microwave function didn’t work and would cut out after 10 seconds. Couldn’t make a bag of popcorn. Could be operator error as we were all unfamiliar with this style of appliance. Convenient location, plenty of parking, quiet area.

Great place to stay Walking distance from city centre Fantastic place to start your adventure

The beach is so beautiful in Exmouth.
