The bach was very clean and well equiped.We did not need the fire, but if we had it was set and ready to light on our arrival.There were plenty of heaters to keep us warm for the cool evenings.Also plenty of warm blankets and duvets.The host Chris is very communicative and friendly.The location is ideal with lovely views of the river, and has easy access to walking tracks.Loved how this place has kept lots of its original character and been beautifully maintained.
Great location, great size, laundry facilities very good, hot water great.Stove top was cooking very hot even on low, no Wi-FI, needs to be in listing. For along stay it was inconvenient.Fireplace worked very well lots of woo. Good refrigerator, not very clean when we arrived.All in all a very nice stay, thank you Chris.
We absolutely loved our stay 10 out of 10 for everything we were sadden to leave kids enjoyed we enjoyed the owner of the home has made sure to make this property a home away from home for sure and we are already planning on coming back very very soon
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm sorry you found the house musty! If it hasnt been used for a while it needs all the windows open for a while to freshen it up.
Just completed a major clean and tidy ready for the new year!
We had a lovely time here, perfect for our little family. Really beautiful walk along the river and so nice to sit in front of a cozy fire. Particularly good hot shower given our cold weather!
I'd guess it's our 4th or 5th stay, our preferred base when venturing down to try our luck on the rivers. Basic but everything we need is included. We really enjoy the heavy flow shower and the pre diner drink spot overlooking the river...remembering always to bring camp chairs. Thanks again for letting us stay.
