Jan 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous property! Loved, loved, loved it! This property lived up to ALL expectations! Great location, facilities etc. I certainly would have no hesitation in suggesting this property to family and friends. I only have a few MINOR suggestions to the owner of this property. Supply one hand towel and one face washer per guest. The decor in the house was fabulous but what let down the master suite was the two rickety bedside tray tables which held quite heavy lamps. I'm not sure how much longer these tables will survive. Lastly the lack of doona covers. Each doona was covered by a very noisy protector and then had a sheet put on top. Unfortunately these rustled every time you moved. I have never experienced this sort of bedding either from rented accommodation or hotels. Again, minor details which could be rectified without too much expense. ##### Ann M.
