Summary: We had a lovely family time here. The accommodation is a bit tired. The sleepouts are in need of repair. We were lucky with the weather - if it was wet, the living area would have been crowded. No wifi.It felt a bit pricey.

Summary: Loved our stay. And true to its name there were fantails everywhere. The native busy around the house is amazing, and the adjoining park was such fun for the kids to freely run around. Would love to come back and explore the area more

Summary: really nice Bach, had everything we needed. Good sized fully fenced section for our 2 dogs to run around. would recommend this place to family and friends. Only one complaint, the people before us put the dishes away dirty so we had to wash them before use.

Summary: The weather was average but the house was loaded with games/books/Winter Olympics to keep us entertained! Great space for 7 adults and 1 toddler, I didn’t feel like we were tripping over each other. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
