Summary: Nice property with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. BBQ hadn’t been cleaned and didn’t operate ( no gas or something else. The green waste bin had general rubbish in it so not sure how good the servicing between stays is. Very well equipped house.

Summary: Great place to stay. Everything you needed. We did have to supply our own dish washing powder. not a biggy! A friendly note to owners: More coffee cups required for a big group booking and the stove and range hood needs attention. I would have liked to have left it cleaner, but the vacuum could not do the job. Still would recommend it to others, though.

Summary: Our family stayed for 2 days in hopes of hiking in the nearby national park for a view of what Hobbit fans would call Mount Doom. Your house was a nice cozy setting in a nice neighborhood. We enjoyed the trail that went down to the riverside. Our host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Thank you so much!
