We found it was the perfect size for a large group and the two showers and two toilets were handy. It was nice to have bikes available for the younger ones to use as well as ample parking as we are also a family car club so the driveway space was amazing also. This house really does have it all.

The rooms n facilities were plentiful n easily available. Within minutes, we were able to get on the highways to go to the places of interests. The books on the bookshelves entertained us (kids n myself) in the evenings after a tiring day out. Just a quick walk away, there was a small convenient store. The friendly owner made our trips there pleasant. Too bad we didn't manage to thank him nicely or ask for his name.
