Lovely little place for a small group

Booked for a group of 5 mates on a motorbike trip, perfect for what we needed, clean, cosy and those high ceilings. Owner was lovely and communication was prompt and kind. Apologies for not taking our glass bottles with us, we couldn't as we didnt have any space but we tried to leave them nice and tidy. Will definitely book next time we are in the area. Cheers from the "Tough Guys".

Boys camp over

The place like last time is a awesome and private place to get away from the rat race. Angela is easy to deal with and helpful. The only thing we had was a vacuum up when we arrived, but it could have been because the place was not used for a time before us. Easy clean up tho. Love the place and I hope to stay again soon.

The Location was quite good and convenient.

The Location was quite good and convenient. House gets warm quite fast with the fireplace and the heaters around. Even if they charge $60 for cleaning, they expect the guests to do all the cleaning and give some free money to cleaners. Also charged extra from bond, saying we moved the furniture. To my knowledge we only moved some chairs and put it back before we left. We travel quite a lot but its the first time experiencing something like this. Be ready to pay extra...

It wasn't a case of cleaning it was to leave the place as you found it. Extra work was required from the cleaner .
