Khani smashes a hole in neigbours fence--again!

In what appears to have been a fit of rage, Khani has smashed a hole into his neighbours fence.
This is the second time he has put a hole in the fence, the last time he appeared to sustain an
injury and carried a plaster cast on his arm for a month.

This time he appears to have used something else to bash a large hole in the fence.
Neighbour Tony Jacobs reports that this is the second incident where his fence has been damaged and he has had to pay for repairs.

A summons has been issued against Khani.

Photographs to follow.

Khani's Hobart Lodge "not recommended" --Trip Advisor

From Trip Advisor

“Not recommended”

Reviewed 12 April 2014

QueenslandCoaster

A relatively modern establishment, let down by poor design elements:
a) There is no lift even though there are three floors. Forget trying to carry your luggage upstairs if you are an older traveller

b) There is no extractor fan in the bathroom/toilet, which opens off the kitchen area

c) The kitchen sink is on a free standing unit that does not have a bench attached so washing up is tedious

d) There is a two-seater couch but this is in the bedroom directly below and facing away from the wall mounted TV. If you want to watch TV you must do so from the bed

e) The King bed is actually two single units pushed together. The mattresses are very soft and potentially dangerous for anyone with back problems. Pillows and spare "blankets" are are ludicrously thin.

The establishment is also let down by bad management and meanness:
a) No onsite manager. Before you arrive you have to call a number and the person at the other end will tell someone to meet you in the car park and let you into your room

b) Skirting boards were covered in thick dust and the inside of the fridge was dirty. I don't believe they employ professional cleaners because as people checked out I saw the manager carrying a standard household vacuum cleaner into the vacated rooms

c) There was no milk provided to make a hot drink on arrival
d) Only two thin towels were provided for a three night stay and zero room service or cleaning over those days

e) Only one saucepan was provided in the kitchen and very few kitchen utensils in the drawer

d) The wine glasses were plastic and scratched

e) The hair dryer was in a kitchen cupboard - an unhygienic practice

f) We only lasted one night of the three but were refused any refund
There were some positive points:

a) The kitchen utility knife was sharp and large enough to be useful

b) There was an excellent stove top and conventional oven in the kitchen, including a rotisserie and a roasting pan

c) Excellent location close to restaurants and shops, but quite a drive is required if you need a supermarket

Room Tip: Keep to the ground floor rooms if you must stay here

Hobart Lodge -- Polish Couple Treated Very Badly

NOTHING!!! This is the worst place to stay in Tasmania. 

Do not choose it!!! The worst hotel, I have ever seen, I have ever been to.

I have chosen the Hobart Lodge, because of free Wi – Fi, 

that I need every day. During the reservation process via 

booking.com, I was asked if I need to have some request. 

I ask for the possibility of checking in little earlier, 

because I was traveling with my friends all the night. When I 

came to the Hotel in Hobart there was no one in the reception!!! 

I mean there was no reception at all. No one told me about it

during reservation! The Hotel was closed. There was a sheet of 

paper with telephone number to call. 

I had to call from our 

mobiles to ask somebody to come and open the building for me and

my friends. And wait until someone will come. For about 15 minutes 

came man in age 55 - 60. 

He let us come inside the building with our 

luggage and inside the room. But unfortunately the room was not cleaned 

after previous tourists. 

It was about 13.00 and the owner of this hotel 

started trying to find someone who cleans the rooms. 

I asked him to let us leave our luggage at the hotel and we 

told him we would like to go to the city. But that man, 

probably manager of that place did not agree for that. 

He was very impolite for us from the beginning! He did not 

let us leave the luggage inside the room, what is more he did not let us 

leave the luggage inside the hotel. He told us to get out with all our luggage. 

We had to wait with all our luggage on the pavement near the street, 

outside the hotel. We were crouching with our luggage on the pavement for 

almost one hour waiting until the room will be ready!!! 

We were very tired, we could not change our clothes. 

I would like to remind You that on website about the Hobart Lodge 

there is written very clear: "we help with transport from the Airport 

and we provide a luggage office". We have never met with such behavior!!! 

Never!!! 

Rude manager of the hotel. It never happens!!! And this place has 4 stars! 

The manager of that hotel left us with our luggage just on the street and then he went by his car.
