A wonderful getaway
We had a wonderful time. The location was great and we really enjoyed it. The only hiccup was that the hot water unit was broken when we arrived but this was quickly rectified and repaired when we notified the property managers. Overall a great trip

Girls getaway
This is a great place to stay, clean, lots of space and great location. Walking distance to everything. Only one negative, the bedroom with bunk beds could do with new beds, they were squeaky and not that comfy, door need to be fixed as well, it doesn’t shut properly. That was the only negative and not a major one. Just a suggestion as the whole rest of the house was amazing. Loved the large lounge where we could all sit together and big table, great open and wonderful for just sitting round and relaxing. Thank you so much. Would definitely stay again.

Large family stay
We had a lovely stay here, property is in a great location we simply walked everywhere, shops, dinner, coffee in the morning or simply going for a walk. The house had a modern split system and the kitchen had all required cooking items the property is large and good for a bigger group though there are aspects of the furniture that are tired and already broken one of the small tables legs in a bedroom are broken we went to lift it to move it and the leg just fell over we also had a issue with the linen service but the property manager was straight onto it and had it fixed within a hour Overall we loved the house and would stay here again.

House is fine but property manager is abusive
We had a great stay in the house. Unfortunately the weekend was left on a sour note though as I got a phone call from the property manager accusing me of stealing a cushion. When I explained that I did not, I was called a liar and verbally abused. I recommend anyone intending to stay here take a video on your entry to the property to avoid any accusations from the incredibly rude manager.

Place was very clean and tidy and quiet. The lounge room was very comfortable..
Some things that could be better: Some toilet paper please. The shower has very little water pressure and barely enough to get wet. This was very disappointing as was the ill-fitting main bathroom shower door which is very difficult to open and close. This should be repaired asap.
