We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at '17 on Cheltenham'. The house was perfect for our family of three generations including a 4 year old. We loved the wood burner, fire pit, comfy sofas & beds, and books & games for all ages. The location was great - minutes walking distance to woodland walks, hot pools, and town. We would love to stay again one day.

Seventeen on Cheltenham was everything we needed for our family. The kids loved the bedding options, the distance to town was very convenient, tv and lounge room was stylish and house was clean. washer/dryer was very useful at this stage of our holiday. Communication with the owner was a breeze. Recommend
