Sweetwater Villas

This place is awful. We booked for a 2 bedroom sea view (2 double bed) room for 2 nights but left after one. It is very run down and grubby. The plasterwork and paintwork is poor. The bathroom was grim (and freezing) as was the second bedroom which resembled a prison cell, dark and dingy with a tiny window high up the wall which looked out into a wall of earth. The photos on the website are very misleading and do not accurately show the poor decor. The website describes the kitchen as "fully equipped" but there was no oven and what little kitchen utensils there were, were old and worn. The website also states there is "wireless internet". There was NO internet in room 2. After wasting over an hour trying to connect to the Wifi, came across a notice in the kitchen that said internet was only available in "some rooms". The owners, whilst living on site, take a very hands off approach to guests. No personal welcome when we arrived at 3pm, just the keys hanging on a fence with our name on it. At 10am the next morning we went to the office to advise that we were leaving and why. The office was locked up. We tried the buzzer on three separate occasions but there was no answer from the owners, so we left. The worst accommodation we stayed in during 18 nights in Tassie!

The villa was grand, with items we were not expecting. Dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine. And of all things sharp knives and steak knives. If I could give more rating I would and definitely be back again in future. It was clean well set up. Yes it has stairs but loved the idea of the living area and bedrooms. The room really impressed me. Even the upstairs toilet with the powder room. Pity it was raining the days were there so couldn't really sit out on the patio. Last day it cleared so could take in a little time with view and fresh air. The BBQ area was great but would be better with light. Only thing if I might be wrong the stove top, took a little long to heat up and cook. Only thing that needs a look at. But definitely would book again. Loved it

The apartments was probably as good as they get in St Helens. The room was clean, perhaps a little dated but comfortable with all the equipment needed. Internet, was spotty and needs to be corrected as good reliable internet acces is essential for travellers--sadly many cut costs and do not provide high speed and reliable internet which is available with small expenditure.
