Had a lovely time. It's in a small town but has everything you need. The house is fantastic, amenities, space, loved the fireplace, and the backyard for my dog. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when I want a quite peaceful place to stay.

Thoughtful owner with every conceivable amenity. Even the fridge was full of goodies. The back enclosed verandah was wonderful for our pets.The bush at the rear was perfect for a dog walk. Very safe and secure overall. The view towards the mountains from the elevated street was beautiful. The closeness of shops and eateries was great.Did we say we’d be back? You bet.
