We absolutely loved our short stay at this property. The home is gorgeous inside and out. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out and not be on top of one another. The outdoor space was so serene and beautiful. The location was great and having easy, private parking was so nice. We appreciate all of the attention to detail and the amenities provided. We definitely recommend staying here!

The house was very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is very well equiped. The property manager quickly dealt with problems. Suggestions for improvement - the lounge and bedrooms were very dark so we struggled to read. Could do with better lighting. And some instructions, eg oven, light switches could be labelled.
