Host was amazing as we had to change the sleeping arrangements as family had to change plans. The house was very clean, spacious with plenty of parking for all vehicles and the location was perfect as it was so close to town. Would highly recommend.

Great location, close in to town. House and amenities were just what we needed. A suggestion to get the cleaners to check utensils, plates etc as a lot of items were pretty dirty, presume from last occupants wash skills.

I am very sorry indeed that the crockery and utensils where not clean for your visit. That is surprising and disappointing. I've shown the cleaner your review and asked if she would be willing to check them. Thanks for drawing this to our attention.

Corena's place was a comfy homely space for my family and I to enjoy. Location was great. Kitchen was well equipped though we would've loved to have used the bbq facilities. Maybe replace the double mattress in the end room and batch in the near future but otherwise a beautiful spacious home with cosy family vibes. We would love to stay again in the future and would highly recommend this home to others. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.

Perfect, location and facilities. Neat and tidy. Would definitely use them again for a bigger group. The 1 bathroom was okay but one more would have been ideal. Can’t find anything else if I want to complain.

Thanks for your positive comments. There are actually two bathrooms at the property, as described and photographed in the listing. The second one with a toilet and shower, is behind the outside bedroom. If you come again you will know for next time.
