It's a wonderful stay and the staff was helpful!

It's a nice two-storey villa with 3 bedrooms and a beautiful glass room. The view from the house is terrific!

Shared house stay, not for me.

The outside vibe and overlooking the river was nice (even though that river then backed onto a main busy road). If you like shared spaces and old/outdated houses then this place is for you.

  • Quite honestly, it needs to be clearly labelled that this is a share house. Completely understand it is on me to click through all of the facilities to see right down the bottom that there is a shared bathroom to figure that out. However, reading everyone else’s comments it’s clear that others were also not aware they’d be stayed with other people. The house itself smelt musky and we did not think it was clean at all (dust and dirt on the windowsills, carpet and curtains were dirty and the hand towel in the bathroom was wet when we arrived. Overall, we really just were not comfortable to stay here, thinking that anyone could have walked in the front door at night.

  • Had difficulty getting Wifi, but cleaning lady sorted it. I was travelling alone and lovely to have the whole house to myself on first night, however preferred the security of company when other guests arrived on second night. It is so quiet there. I stayed in the downstairs garden room, It was a shared bathroom but I knew that when booking.

Everything was great.

Location, cleanliness, comfort everything was great. Also, there was no one else when we went, so we were more comfortable. There is a big TV in the living room, it was very enjoyable to hang out there. Thank you.

Cosy and clean, homely and warm.

The house was so clean, bedrooms spacious and beds very comfortable. Decor gives off a Green Gables type of ambience. Location was excellent and very close to supermarkets, wineries and restaurants. There were individual set-ups of a bar fridge, kettle and tea/coffee/milk in each room which was a nice touch. Heater was awesome. Host very friendly and helpful with tourist attractions and advice.

  • Although there is a bar fridge in every room there is no communal fridge. It would be good to have one in the kitchen as we are two families travelling together and sharing food, so having the separate fridges was inconvenient for us, but we made do. Also, thank you for the shower gel and shampoo! It would be fantastic if you could add conditioner in the shower for us girls with long hair.
