Disliked: Cleanliness
The location right next door to Cataract Gorge was perfect. The house fit out could use a bit of finesse. The inclusion of the high chair and porta cot was perfect, as we were travelling with a one year old. Would have appreciated some plastic plates, bowls and cups, but that is just being picky. There is a lot of ground level power points that would have benefited from some child proof plugs. The couch is the lounge room is old, uncomfortable and almost worn out. There is a slight ant problem in the kitchen, but understandable given the location. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is plenty of pillows. Loved the heated towel rail in the bathroom.

Great location and comfy beds, and really good communication when we discovered the kitchen tap was a bit of a fountain! The building is older with cracks in the walls but that didn't affect us. I'd would however agree with a previous review that the sofa and armchairs probably need replacing. A cafetiere or coffee machine would be great too. Overall a good place :)
