AustraliaThe space available for what I didn't like is limited, so additional information will go in here. Oceania House once the Clunies-Ross home, certainly exudes charm, has a beautiful outlook to the bay, and deserves its heritage listing, but is dysfunctional and more like an expensive under-facilitated, under maintained hostel in the way it presents for its clientele. The available meal catered for, on application, for us at the beginning was a very basic fish and rice dish in a cardboard container and not Malay style curry as expected.
If the government acquires property of significance (the surrounding "botanical gardens" for instance), it has an obligation to maintain it with suitable funding and effort if it is to be used as a selling point. Any serious application for preservation is not even close.
