"Booked within 30 mins of checking in. The woman who helped me check (assuming owner) was very welcoming and friendly with a smile on her face. When i first entered into the accommodation, the room was very clean and had updated features like bathroom, kitchen etc. The private hot tub was extremely large, unfortunately i didn't get to try it out. Partner enjoyed the sauna in the shared complex area. Very happy with our stay. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!"

"This was a great stay and such a lovely place to be in! It was very clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind. Parking was also so great and everything very easy to find within the venue. It is also the perfect location, across the road from the supermarket and only a few blocks away from the main shopping centres. Super great place and would recommend!!"
