Alum of Home and Away Tammin Sursok has opened up about a disastrous family vacation that ended with her packing her belongings and fleeing her Airbnb in the middle of the night.
Tammin, her husband Sean McEwen, and their two girls drove 17 hours from Queensland to Melbourne for a weekend getaway, only to discover their hotel was a “total disaster.”
While standing outside in the dark, the 38-year-old told her Instagram followers, “It is nine o’clock at night.”
“I’m terrified, and I don’t care for it. It’s a spooky place “Phoenix, her eight-year-old daughter, spoke out in the background.
The Aquamarine actress then uploaded photographs of the decaying residence, which was littered with ripped carpets, shattered glass, strange stains, and scarred walls.
“This has never occurred to me before. So far, Airbnb has been fantastic, so we’ll see what we can do. However, it is not perfect “she went on.
The family left the Airbnb and went into a nearby hotel, where she updated her Instagram followers on their disastrous vacation.
“What a scumbag of a show. Thank heavens, Airbnb refunded all they should have “she said from the comfort of her hotel room bed
“That’s something I’ve never had before. Because everything is always fantastic, I’ve never had to be refunded for a location I’ve stayed. However, it was a complete failure. It smelled like black mould when you stepped in.”
Tammin is known for sharing glimpses of her personal life on Instagram, and she recently opened up about being bullied as a child.
“I weighed 200 pounds (90kg) when I was 13 years old, I was tormented a lot, and boys were nasty to me; they would hurl rocks at my head, and kids would laugh behind my back,” she added, sharing flashback images.
“I only felt joyful when I was pursuing my dreams of becoming an actor and musician. I developed a crush on a guy who told me I would never amount to anything. I advised him to keep an eye on the situation.”
Tammin stated she was bullied for the most of her adolescence, but she chose to persist and not be broken by “people’s hate-filled remarks.”
“If you find yourself in this predicament, I guarantee you that you are deserving, that you are sufficient, and that I want you to GET UP. Your dreams can come true, but only if you want them to. I notice you. I’ve figured it out.”
Tammin’s career has taken off since she left her four-year job in Summer Bay. She went on to star in the television shows Pretty Little Liars and Hannah Montana.
