Swannanoa Girls' weekend away
It was perfect for us. Maybe odd but one of the things to be positive about was that there was plenty of toilet paper - that's quite a simple thing to do but frequently not done. Personally enjoyed having the kayaks available to use also. We did miss having Wifi as data on iPhones doesn't go far, but we could see how that wouldn't be practical for the owners in this situation. We did have a little bit of a challenge knowing we had found the correct house as there wasn't a street number provided (as far as I could see), the neighbours didn't know it was called Shiloh and apart from a small Bachcare sign that we found later, there was nothing to identify it so we had to work from the photos of it and from the map we had googled and printed off. All in all, it was a great place for the 5 of us to stay.
