Pet friendly home away from home

We stayed at Darling on Garling for 3weeks whilst our home was going through repairs. It was the perfect house and we instantly felt relaxed and at home as soon as we walked through the door. When we arrived Herb had supplied us with a welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread, butter, fruit and cereal which was amazing. The house was clean, spacious and warm. Perfect for our small dog with an enclosed area for him to walk around. Off street parking was great and just a 5min drive or a 15min walk to Lane Cove and it’s shops, bars and restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend Herb and his lovely house. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your lovely home. Louise
