Koepel House, along with being unique, was a comfortable and welcoming space for our family of five. After a few days of travelling it was a great place to be able to relax and catch up on the washing etc. The kitchen was well kitted out. It was 12 to 15 minutes from the city and 5 minutes from the airport and although it is on a main road it was still quiet and peaceful.

This house is very different from all others with its domed design. We enjoyed staying in this unusual house. Arrival was smooth. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels were provided. Other than the exception noted below, everything was nice and clean. The agency was responsive in attending to issues. However, upon arrival we found dishes that had been put away dirty. There were several lightbulbs that were also out. I would encourage all owners/agencies to have a checklist for things to check while resetting for the next guest. During our Aus/NZ trip this was the second time we found dirty dishes. You will notice traffic during the day, but it is quiet at night.

Unique warm home
We enjoyed staying at this uniquely designed home. It was clean, warm, and plenty of room. There is s park across the road we enjoyed walking in.
It was centrally located and easy to get to shops and our events. We appreciated the milk, tea, and cookies on arrival. And the requested extra fold out bed was made up and comfy.
The only down fall was very late communication on checkin, ID requirements, signing rental agreements and bond payments, for a short stay which had been paid in full, was over the top. Travel for a funeral was hard enough with kids.
