Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Good location Cozy home. Nicely decorated. Couldn't work out where how to get keys - it differed from written instructions. Did not have any communication with owner as no need. Aircon didn't reach bedrooms in the 2 x 38 degree days we stayed there and the fans weren't up to par, but that would be a rare occurrence. Safely fenced for our little doggo - very happy with that. Secure car parking for 4 WD. A bit dusty inside and out. The shower cubicle does not drain well at all. I'd say it needs to be unblocked. Neighbours down road were very nice and gave us some plants. All in all a nice and comfy stay. ##### Elizabeth K.

Everything as advertised and photographed is 100% authentic. The charming cottage had a very light and comfortable aura about it. You really felt relaxing from the moment you stepped inside. A couple of small issues... No kitchen tea towel. The floors needed a good mop with hot water. Walking from the bathroom to the main bedroom, feet ended up black as spades. Maybe the cleaner is short (I'm 185cm) but the top the range hood, fridge, and dinning room cupboard was filthy. Aside from that it was a very pleasant stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy P.
