This is our third visit our whole family love staying. Steve is an excellent host, the location is great, the accommodation is excellent everything we need for a great summer holiday.
If you looking for nice city escape with beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere look no further. All facilities provided at top class and property itself is spotless. Thank you again for having me and my friends. Definitely would return.
Advertised as single beds. Actually king single so the single fitted sheet became the top sheet as they didn't fit the mattress.
TV was a debacle.
Driveway is dodgy. Other than those things it was lovely

I've added some notes to make the bed sizes clearer.
The TV has been replaced.
The driveway was at this time muddy due to the excessive rains recently - this is not normal.
We stayed with friends and had young kids. Plenty of space for the kids to run around inside and out. Overall it was a great place for us to relax and lounge around.
The guest house doesn't have AC and the fans weren't working. It had a stale odour which required airing for quite some time.
We had issues with the drains overflowing from the kitchen sick , toilets and even in the shower which wasn't very pleasant, however the owner promptly arranged it to be fixed quite quickly.
The TV.... was very challenging to operate.
Would have preferred linen to be provided as part of the package. It wasnt clear that we have to hire or bring our own.

I'm sorry for the confusion, but the requirement to provied your own linen is as obvious as Stayz allows me to make it.
All my guests loved this home, the owner was very helpful with any issues or any questions we had, loved the ping pong table, the guest house didn't lock which made some of my guests worried or unsafe and we had issues with the hot water in the guest house. Overall a very lovely home to stay in and i would definitely book again, thanks Steve.
Me and my mates had a great time at Steve's property. Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for some space, peace and quiet. Fantastic house & Guest house with plenty of room for families or groups of friends. House is surrounded by trees. Very easy booking and check in process and very quick email reply. The drive into forster was 30 mins or so but is a very beautiful drive past the lake and ocean which didn't bother us at all when we went into town for food, golf or bowling. Overall 10/10, id love to return
