Geckos Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Accommodation is very nice, however the noise from footsteps coming from the person staying above as well as her loud telephone conversations were off-putting.

Close to nature at geckos

We had a very enjoyable time. Lovely decor, very clean and everything you need. Situated in a residential area but close to the river for fishing, boating and walking, also near to the River Tavern. We had a lovely meal there.
