Large versatile property in a great location

Our extended family stayed two nights for a wedding. The house had a nice period feel. The dining and lounge rooms were very inviting. The two front bedrooms were large and comfortable. The smaller rooms suited our children and the grandchildren as each parent slept with one of the youngsters. (These rooms might be a little small for two adults each). Access to the single bathroom was tricky for the number of people staying (8). We were also able to have two other family members stay in their caravan in the large accessible back yard. The location was perfect as the wedding was in the botanical gardens and Pipers. Other than running out of toilet paper and plastic liner bags for the bins we could not fault the place. Communication was also very good particularly given that I managed to miss the email with the access codes to get into the property 🙃 Highly recommended

Great stay

Great property. There was confusion over the access code but only on our part. I booked but couldn’t stay due to a family emergency in Melbourne. So no fault of stayz or the property owner. My husband and kids and our friends had a great stay!!! So hoping to book again.
