Ladies retreat

The property definitely has the charm of a cottage but the proportions of a much larger house. Neat and tidy, great location close to loads of attractions. Lovely wrap around verandah sitting out on and catching up with friends. Owner excellent at communication.

Very clean and easy to check in. The space in the houze is great! Plenty of room to sit and talk both outside and inside. Only improvement would be to have at least bed linen included. Thanks for a great stay!

A lovely house and excellent host

There was a lot to appreciate about this property, particularly its spaciousness - there was more than enough room for the eight of us - good condition and handy location (especially for the hot springs). However, the most important feature of our experience was how responsive and helpful our host was, from responding to an initial query about the property at 11pm within minutes to answering questions about the washing machine just before checkout. All told, we had a great weekend, and would gladly recommend this property to anyone travelling to the peninsula.
