The accomodation provided plenty of room with a comfortable bed and nice garden outlook. Hosts were accessible and process from booking to check out was perfect. Locality was great with easy access to cafe and walking distance to botanical gardens and township. As we are an older couple we would have liked a TV for the evenings.
