@Brett3 Can I lighten the mood up a bit mate!
I see in your listing photos the 'Chateau' is still there!!!! Or is that a retro photo?
Ade and I stayed there in 1992 and there was talk they were going to pull it down then!
It has 4 elevators servicing it's 22 odd floors, and they would have to be the slowest lifts ever created. Everyone who stayed there complained about the wait time for an elevator to come. One morning we eventually got into one and this woman was grizzling about how long she had waited for the lift to come and I turned to her and said...."What are you complaining about, I had a full head of hair when I left my bedroom"!!
Guests definitely are becoming more thoughtless Brett. I have had to fully fit my listing cottage out with measures to counteract guests who leave lights on, the heaters running, the hotplate turned on, have a shower for 40 minutes.
Brett I had this one guy who on his last morning asked if he could cook up a couple of sausages on the barbie so he could eat them cold along the way. I led him to the barbeque, got it going for him and left him to it! that was 8.30am.....at 11.00 that night I came from my mancave and walked down through the barbeque area and as I walked past the barbie it thought, geez, that feels a bit warm! This goose had left the barbeque running....bloody burning our gas bottle for about 14 hours.
I don't know what we do about them Brett, as I said I have idiot-proofed the cottage, I bluetooth the aircon, they only get 80 lts of hot water and the bathroom heater has a pneumatic off/on switch...each push gives 10 minutes of heat and then turns off....You will find them in the stairwells over in the Chateau :-))
What do I tell you....put on automatic door closers....they will probably lock themselves out then.
Dealing with guests....as nice as they are....is one of lifes great challenges Brett!
Cheers.....Rob
