Great communication from property management, the space worked well for our family (2 couples and 2 kids). The kitchen could use a few more things to help with cooking (i.e., measuring cups), but that's easily fixed. Would stay here again.

Everything was good. Only concern we had and I didn't give 5 star was the cleaning supplies or toilet rolls were very limited and was not enough for 2 days.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us.
As discussed during your stay, we do provide kitchen essentials including tea towels and dishcloths, as outlined in our welcome information. We understand that for a larger group staying multiple nights, you may have preferred a greater quantity, and we appreciate that feedback.
In terms of pantry items, we provide a small selection of basics such as tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt and pepper. We aim to be clear about this in our listing and guest information so expectations are set ahead of time.
We’re pleased you enjoyed the location, and thank you also for highlighting the driveway and rubbish bins — we’ll follow up on these items with our team to ensure they are addressed for future guests.
Thank you again for your stay and for taking the time to share your comments.
