Family holiday

We had a lovely time at Goondiwindi. Kitchen was well stocked with any cookware, crockery, utensils you would need. We particularly liked that they had plastic cups and plates for kids. It was lovely to sit out on the deck and enjoy the Seabreeze and night. Excellent air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable for our stay.

Comfortable relaxed home. Great kitchen. Relaxing balcony with plenty of seating. Had difficulty getting a response to queries from the host via the Stayz chat. However, once I searched for and called the managing real estate agent they were very pleasant and helpful

Fabulous and Clean!

This would have to be one of the best houses we've stayed at in Cowes Been coming here for 22 years in a row with my family and this house deserves 5 stars. Clean, decorated beautiful, comfortable bedrooms, ample kitchen facilities, & roomy for 3 large families. Can not fault it. Will defiantly be staying again. Thank you! 🙂

Fabulous house

We were a group of 5 girls who spent 3 lovely nights at this wonderful house. The cleanliness was amazing. It was spotless. The host provided everything you need to have a great time. Games, fantastic Bluetooth speaker, and the reversible air hockey/pool table was heaps of fun. The beds were all Nice and comfy and the backyard/frontyard was perfect for the greyhound that came with us. She spent a lot of time on the big balcony upstairs as it rained a bit. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Weekend at Cowes

We rented this house as we needed something close to town for a function we were attending. The location and proximity is amazing and cannot be faulted. We were however extremely disappointed by the cleanliness of the property. It really does need a thorough clean. Make sure to also BYO a doona cover.

Onest rating

Good location in a quiet street , There are issues with cleaning being done prior of guests arrival. Couches not vacuumed special under removal type cushions , dust on top of ceiling fans. Two light globes and one side bedroom table lamp not working. Needs new paint on walls in staircase area. It's comfortable overall but needs bit of TLC or inspections prior of new gests mowing in.
