Lovely cute place for short stay

We traveled to Wagga Wagga, a charming spot near the lake. It's a lovely, quiet place just a short drive from shops and local attractions. The area was very clean, and there was enough entertainment for our young kids.

Really cozy place and a warm welcome from Heather. A great place to rest and recoup. Highly recommended. Note: If you have not used the Vrbo app before, perhaps download and create an account before booking. I booked a couple of stays (including this one) before I created an account and none of my bookings were accessible in the app despite using the same email address. It was only a minor inconvenience but it meant that I was not able to respond to messages from hosts or leave positive feedback in the app which is a shame because this place was great!
