Peaceful and perfect to include dog
Lovely property great for walks with dog - lots of wildlife so dogs need to be on lead. Fenced yard for dog. The house itself had everything we needed. Note no dishwasher or washing machine. The bed was comfortable in a spacious bedroom. Lovely wood burner plus heating and cooling aircondioners. Loved sleeping with no street lights and quiet road. We enjoyed all the Christmas themed decorations and cups, plates and glasses - the house is in a Christmas tree farm so was a lovely touch made better by live Christmas trees around the property which were being harvested while we were there. Lots of dirt roads around the property to ride our bikes and walk the dog. All in all would recommend.

Comfortable and quaint
House is not the fanciest but was clean, as described and functional. Comfortable beds and great shower pressure. There isn't a lot of kitchen/hang out space without using the backyard/garage, which was fine but cold. Great directions provided to find the property, obviously it's out of town but perfect for a base for a group visiting the ACT, really easy drive in and nice to retire back to. Dog fencing was suitable :)

An owner who mistakes his guests for his cleaning staff
We found the property to be a good representation of what was described overall and had a pleasant stay however, upon checkout the owner didn’t show up and asked us to leave the keys in front of his personal house which was a short drive ahead. We did accordingly and checked out at 9.40am and about an hour later in to our journey we got a text from the owner accusing us of not cleaning the insides of his oven properly. It’s funny because we didn’t find his oven, plates and cutlery to be squeaky clean either but we didn’t want to make a fuss. The oven was left exactly like we found it and if he expects us to clean the insides of his oven of decades of rust for free, he’s just asking too much. We found plates with leftover food crusted on them and cracked plastic drinking glasses that leak and still didn’t trouble the owner for those minor inconveniences. We washed , dried and put away everything we used so getting such weird text messages from this owner is very much uncalled for. The carpets were not vacuumed in a while and sheets weren’t fresh as well. Maybe if he focused more on keeping his property regularly cleaned he wouldn’t have to pester his guests to do it for him.
