Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Place was wonderful, not happy with the late check in of 4.00pm, Could not lock the Granny flat.
Lovely stay clean and nice. Needs clearer instructions on turning on the Fireplace, as the power switch is not near the fireplace. Keys have to be worked out, only works in front door, and can not lock Granny flat. Check in to late, but really it is a lovely place and would stay there again
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022

Bowral nearly bliss
The property was very cold on arrival which was a bit off putting . The dried /artificial flowers everywhere were totally unnecessary and actually left you feeling that it was all a bit soulless. Beds were clean and comfortable,but over all it was a bit disappointed
