Nice clean home. Few rubbish bins in bathrooms and more toilet paper would have been nice. Otherwise no complaints.

I travelled with a group, some of them complained upstairs bedroom air vents blowing cold air on chilly night. Did not realize we have to pay extra for linen at the time of booking. Thought it was included. We brought our own. It's a great house cold rooms upstairs were real let down despite paying 500 a night. Location is great, Kitchen,Living room,Deck and other spaces and gardens were great.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the property. We’re sorry the upstairs rooms felt cooler for some of your group.The linen option is noted on the listing prior to booking, however we understand this can occasionally be overlooked. We appreciate your comments and look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Family stay

Was great. I do feel, though, that the bedding should be supplied as part of the rate. BBQ could have been cleaner, and I feel you should be able to leave recycling at the property. Overall, happy with our stay. Thank you
