The property was fantastic for two families. Very clean and it had everything we needed. It was so great to be able to bring our puppy! The property manager was incredibly helpful and came back with a response to all our questions immediately. Would definitely come back!

A lovely quiet retreat

The house and garden gave us the perfect peaceful place we needed. The house has everything you need and the flexibility to cater for a range of ages. River walks nearby through the beautiful Moonah trees were a lovely way to start the day.
