This was a return visit for me and once again it was lovely.A quiet and peaceful spot. The home is very clean and comfortable. This time the pelicans and riverboats kept me company. Used the boat ramp to launch my kayak.Thank you for a lovely stay.
I was a solo traveller looking for a quiet place to relax, refresh and revive. This property certainly met the grade. The river view is lovely and can be enjoyed from the outside deck or inside dining/lounge. As I was there during the week it was beautifully quiet,( it may be a different story on a weekend). The property is exceptionally clean, very comfortable and had everything and more that I needed. The self check in email was very clear with instructions and Cat was very easy to communicate with via the Stayz messages. I also had my still water, sit in kayak with me. Whilst the property has access to the water as shown, at the moment the water level to bank ratio proved a little too tricky for me in getting out of the kayak (I'm not as agile as I was in my younger days!!). However the boat ramp 600 metres down the road was very accessible. As the driveway is steep and there was hardly anyone around, I left my kayak down at the waterfront which worked well.Families are well catered for with a great games shed out the back.A suggestion would be to consider providing a small coffee or side table in the lounge space to place a cuppa on.Overall I would highly recommend this property.Thank you Cat and Paul for a lovely stay.
