CANVS by CABN Seppeltsfield Barossa

We arrived and looked for the luggage carts which we were told could be accessed through a lock box. All we found were two plastic wagons, discarded in the dirt. They had flat and shredding tyres.
The grass was being mowed by a tractor till 4pm, which was very noisy. There were grass clippings all over the deck and in the bath (along with someone’s hair.)
The heater was set on thirty when we arrived. We soon found out it just blew cold air, no heat on any setting.
The overhead cupboards had grease drips all along the bottom.
The bottom bedsheet was not fitted, twisted up and left us on the underlay. Who knows how many bodies have slept on that, doubt it’s washed each time.
There was no broom so we could not sweep all the grass and gravel off the floor.
The “fabulous “ breakfast was only bacon eggs, rolls butter and jam. No bread for toast. Very ordinary. It was almost impossible to cook the eggs on the weberQ as the jets were all blocked and very little heat came out. Had to finish them in the microwave. We cleaned the jets for the next guest.
I have pictures of the bath and greasy cupboards if needed to confirm this point.
We thought being off grid would mean the site was isolated but it was right next to the road and very close to the other tents so there was very little privacy.

NA

overall the property was good. A good addition would maybe be some slippers as the floor gets very cold other than that it was well equipped. I'm aware you can pre-order firewood for an additional cost although for the price of the property I feel it should be included.

It was an incredibly windy night. The flapping canvas of the tent and creaking of metal would have kept us up all night. Not appropriate to stay in bad weather. However, the host was very attentive to our needs and addressed our issue promptly- which was amazing

No fire wood provided. It could be pre purchased but I missed it unfortunately. Maybe include in cost of accommodation in future.

Need more privacy from other people when using the bath. Perhaps more trees?
And at night when walking to your car it’s pitch black. Could use some more path lights - solor ones

Need to communicate that you need to provide 48 hours notice if you want a wood supply for the outside fire.

Needed an armchair to sit & read on.

We were given the wrong code to unlock the door which made me panic however when I emailed I was given the correct code but without an apology. Although the front seating area was undercover we couldn't sit there for long as there was no shade and it was very hot. While the outdoor bath on the verandah may appear to be romantic who's going to get their kit off when you can be seen by other people? I felt a disconnect as there is no owner or manager on site. Should be a 2pm check in not 3pm.

Mini ants in the kitchen

Constant creaking noise, barely slept. Could do with better options for lounge type seating. Could do with some clothes hanging.

I was not happy how the sugar canister had ants in it
Couldn’t have a coffee
I would suggest to have sachets
The bed linen needs updating because it’s crispy fresh sheets and the coverlet was like it wasn’t washed regularly

So far so good
