We loved Kia Ora and flinders so much. The house was so well appointed, spacious and comfortable. It had everything you could need and more. The kids cried when we left. We hope to be back in warmer weather.

Hi Phillipa, sounds like you had a lovely stay at Kia Ora, it is a really cute house in a great location! Look forward to seeing back in Flinders again, regards the RT Edgar holiday team.
Beautiful property with lots of luxury touches that we appreciated - beautiful bed linen, plentiful towels, fantastic kitchen supplies and crockery made this home a very relaxing place to spend an Easter weekend! The beautiful garden and seating on the verandah was also well utilised by us all - overall a wonderful place to stay. The only downside to this gorgeous home is the bathroom - while serviceable, it is in need of an update.

Beautiful peaceful experience
The house is in a peaceful street, with a lovely large garden.
Everything is beautifully designed and provided for guests. Comfortable, stylish , clean . Loved our stay in an obviously much loved and cared for family home - didn’t want to go anywhere .
Ps A little frustrating going through real estate agents - slower response and more impersonal than my previous experiences when dealing directly with owners .
