Beautiful setting amongst tall trees and mountain views

I didn't carefully read the description and missed that property has a shared kitchen. Very pleasant and welcoming owners
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Nov 2020
We have found that most guests prefer to have the house to themselves and in response to that we have changed the way we operate. When we have guests we leave the house and stay in a separate unit in our garage so that guests can enjoy the house in private.

Nice owner

It is a good experience. Owner is nice and welcoming. Provide free food for breakfast. The whole place is clean and tidy. We enjoy our stay. Although the owner lives in the house, but she does not bother our stay. She is very caring and willing to provide help when needed. A good experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ket

Host profile image
I live with my husband in Melbourne. I have been living in the Cockatoo area for two years now and just love it, the peace and quiet and the beautiful scenery is everywhere.
I am a friendly and easy going person. When guests come to stay, we move into a separate detached unit on the property and guests will have the house to themselves but we will be on hand if needed.
