Communication was superb. Nicely upgraded interior. Wonderful to have a coffee in the morning on the deck and watch the kookaburras and cockatoos, among others. Everything comfortable and cozy !

Only difficulty was finding the number 8 in the dark😉 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 30, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities It had lovely views and was nice and quiet. We could see alot of effort was put in with certain things such as the nice towels and blankets. The laundry was super handy. One thing in particular was the blinds and lack of decent safety hooks for the cords. This was an issue for us having little kids. The kitchen door also desperately need to be sealed to keep the warmth in and to close much more easily. The blinds need a good clean or to be replaced! The beds could do with a topper to make them more comfy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfort and wildlife! We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very modern and offers a great view of the surrounding area, and is not too far from great restaurants and public transport. We loved the daily visits from friendly neighbours such as parrots, kookaburras, magpies and even a cockatoo! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice and cosy So far one of the best accommodation during our winter visit. Nice house especially with all amenities made available by owner. If there is anything to improve is the weather proofing on the doors. This would save a lot of energy to warm to house. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Riu-Santa-Fe-All-Inclusive.h1775300.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Element Bloomington Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Element-Bloomington-Mall-Of-America.h46073787.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Saint Lucia, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Royalton-Saint-Lucia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h15446956.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Treetops-Resort.h914489.Hotel-Information) > > [Zoetry Casa del Mar Los Cabos - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Casa-Del-Mar-Boutique-Resort-Spa.h11803507.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Hotel-Windsor.h11362.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Airdrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Airdrie-Hotels.d56814.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Toronto Airport West/Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Toronto-Airport-WestMississauga.h2732767.Hotel-Information) > > [West Edmonton Mall Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-West-Edmonton-Mall-Inn.h571696.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mozart](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Mozart.h921371.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pullman](https://www.expedia.ca/Pullman-Hotels.d6054423.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel St. Michael, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Prescott-Hotels-Hotel-St-Michael.h9701324.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Langham.h2112.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Toronto Airport West](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Radisson-Toronto-Airport-West.h1896310.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Whitby, ON - Toronto East](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels-Motel-6-Whitby.h1037668.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [KLM Calgary (YYC) to Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/klm-from-calgary-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/kl/yyc/del) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Little Rock (LIT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lit/calgary-to-little-rock) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Velika Gorica (ZAG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/zag/vancouver-to-zagreb) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywg/calgary-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yyz/regina-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Paso de Carrasco (MVD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/eze/mvd/buenos-aires-to-montevideo) ### Activities > [Things to do in Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Puerto-Vallarta.d180016.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Arena Yvon Chartrand](https://www.expedia.ca/Arena-Yvon-Chartrand-Montreal.d6241811.Vacation-Attraction) > > [The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Wizarding-World-Of-Harry-PotterTM-Florida-Center.d6277909.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Byblos](https://www.expedia.ca/Byblos.dx602708)
