Incredible location, especially for families! Scenic river views from the lounge area, a top tier playground literally across the road, and just a few minutes walk to a great cafe. Overall the property was great value! It is looking a little tired, e.g. main bed upstairs is heavily rusted, but overall the place was clean and tidy and met our family’s needs. Thank you for having us :)
