Excellent accommodation for a family. The property was clean and tidy, well set up and had a home away from home feeling. This place is fully fenced which was really important as i have two young children. The backyard was great for the kids to run and play. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

This was probably the best Bach we have stayed in in the last 4 years! It literally had everything we could possibly need. It was beautifully kept and obviously well cared for. Debra, our host, was very responsive to any queries we had. Great place and we will definitely return in the future!

Value for money

Perfect accomodation for myself and family. Nice quiet location, easily accessible and nearby to shopping centre, pools and playground. Good sized safe section for toddler to play outside. Very good value for what you pay, one of the best places we have stayed. Very clean and tidy. Will definitely remember this property for any future trips to the mount.
