Lovely house, huge, well-appointed kitchen and living space, generous modern bathrooms. We stayed as a family of 5 for a local wedding and were the envy of our relatives once they saw the place we scored! Great communication from the host. Photos don't do justice. Short stroll into town and great local park and walkways for kids. Happy to recommend.

Excellent holiday home!

This was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. But still retained its character as a lovely old villa. We totally enjoyed our stay!

Great House!

The house was a perfect for a getaway. It was spacious and warm and we have a great time catching up with friends. There was plenty of space for our two families. I would recommend staying here if you are in Geraldine.

House handy to town and warmed up with the neat pumps. Shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. We did have trouble sorting the tv channels, perhaps written instructions would cover this problem. But would certainly recommend this house to others

Quiet in Geraldine

We enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent, a short walk across the bridge down the st to the retail area. The living area was large. Heaters in every room kept us warm .
