The place was cosy and comfortable. however there was no welcome pack as described or WiFi access details. I had to ask twice for the WiFi details.I also had to go and buy toilet paper as there were not any spare rolls and the roll already there was less than half.Bed was comfortable.The place just needs a little bit of love, its looking a bit dated.
The drive way was steep, bathroom could do with up grade .Small lounge kitchen area ok if you weren't spending much time there .Decks where unkept & needed work on them. Bedrooms were good beds comfortable .
