Great stay. House was very spacious, very clean and appreciated the air con being on for our arrival...meant the house was nice and warm in winter. Bed in the main bedroom was very firm.

Grandchild visit

This was the ideal property. Clean, well stocked with essentials and beyond. Great kitchen with new appliances. Wonderfully stocked with dishes, cutlery, cooking utensils, glassware, cups, unlike way too many rental offerings. Our host was so easy to communicate with and was very helpful. A facility and experience.
