The layout of the house was exactly what we needed and with ceiling hoist. The house had con webs everywhere in the house, crumbs in the kitchen draws, the power kept tripping. Lights didn’t work in all the rooms. The yard was not mowed or maintained at all. The beds had dirty marks on them and what i would say are dust and dirt on all beds. The ceiling fan was thick with dust. The bbq is not safe to use. The photos i have added are only the outside. But like i said early in the review the layout and the hoists were great. The bathroom is comode friendly.

Wheelies Rest Layout, design and feel is Institutional, and it is an older property. It would benefit from improvement on maintenance and cleanliness of property. That said suitable to needs with essential equipment and nice area.
