The house was very quiet, clean and comfortable. The view from the balcony and two bedrooms was lovely. Be aware that there is no Wi-Fi, no tea/coffee/milk and no shampoo/conditioner/bodywash provided. The bathroom and kitchen are dated but functional.

The property has a damp smell due to old run down carpets. It definitely needs to be replaced & update couch(also has a damp smell) and a fresh coat of paint.

Lovely home

The house was lovely and the view simply amazing. Few issues with check in and found the communication with the managers a little lacking. Dishwasher did not work but otherwise the home provided all we needed.

Herons Rise

Excellent elevated location with great views to the east across Bancroft Bay. Interior was very neatly presented and we were very happy with the well equipped kitchen. The carport is spacious and we used it for the storage of our little boat during our stay. Very comfortable beds.
