About the host
Hosted by Cearna
I am a professional property manager and host this house on behalf of Gay who lives in the main house out the front. I love helping people host their homes for short term rental and have been in the profession for 10 years. I also I love to travel myself!
Why they chose this property
This neighbourhood is lovely and quiet, down a long road just on the outskirts of Hamilton, you will love the feel of the high-class neighbourhood.
What makes this property unique
This property has a fantastic outlook with large, manicured lawn and lovely big trees make the grounds feel private. The house itself is a large two bedroom with a huge space for parking cars, vans and trailers.
