We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were warmly welcomed by our friendly hosts Colin and Deb. The property was in excellent condition and we really enjoyed the use of the pool and tennis court. House is located in a great position, a short drive to the local shops at Blairgowrie or Sorrento. We would love to return for another stay in the future.
