Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible home - perfect for our family We were fortunate to spend two months enjoying Graham’s home in Newlands. He was quick to address our minimal concerns and made sure that the home was well cared for throughout our stay with x3/week cleanings and regularly gardening. The home is well designed and laid out. There are many cozy spots in the house, but the sun room with all the doors open is simply the best. Our sons played for hours in the garden and the pool is a great size for exercise and play. ##### Carla V.
