Reviewer Comments:
Clean , well appointed, spacious and close to facilities - the only negative was that the bed is extremely soft and they have very high end pillows which are very high and we ended up with neck pain -they look beautiful on the bed and extremely luxurious but too firm and not comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
Be aware that this property is at the front of a subdivided block fronting a main road so there is very little privacy from an unpleasant neighbour and it is noisy. Not the pleasant, peaceful holiday we pictured.

Reviewer Comments:
Was a great seamless experience. Only issue was the check in time is 4pm and checkout 10am. Need to compromise. Checking out 10am. Check in should be 1-2pm.
This house is amazing for families, there are a lot of little things that make it really enjoyable and easy to stay here. The house has everything you need for young children including a high chair and port-a-cot with a few toys around to keep their interest peaked, the beds are large and comfortable, the shower is large and the addition of a bar heater on the bathroom is a nice touch. The heater heats the whole house fairly quickly which is nice. Large living area and dining room with a large kitchen that had a fresh loaf of bread with fresh jam waiting for us upon arrival. The double entry driveway makes it very handy for people with large cars or trailers like I had. The only slight negative is it’s on the main Rd. Overall I rate this house very highly and would stay here again
