This home stay is very impressive!
Mervynâs home is a delight. It is perfectly located opposite Aquanation, in a great neighborhood. Spotlessly clean and everything has been thought of from the layout, furnishing, gardens through the rear deck with bbq. It is fully appointed with air conditioning (our stay averaged about 36 to 40 degrees each day and we were very comfortable) heating, kitchen appliances and basically everything you will need for a stay. The hosts were perfect and easy to deal with. Parking was no problem and the location is double safe and secure. We were able to have our two kids along with the pet dog and cat with us.
I canât find any faults with this property. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We thank Mervyn and family, it was perfect for our needs.

Lovely home, great location
I stayed at the house along with my two dogs. The house was beautifully presented with everything I needed. The yard was secure for the two dogs. There were lots of great areas for walking and âaqua nationâ was very close. I could walk to the railway station and Eastland.
