Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne R. 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous place Very warm on arrival as someone had put all the heating on which was required as was cold outside. Wine and snacks on table upon arrival, but no indication on whether for our consumption or not, so we left there. Back French doors had a large gap underneath which counteracted the heat pumps on. We blocked with towels. Apart from that, the property was gorgeous. Best beds and pillows. Highly recommend this property. Would stay again, no hesitation. ##### Anne R. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marion T. 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My kids want to move in here We needed a place to stay at short notice and we were lucky this beautiful property was available. It was perfect. Check-in was easy and communication clear. Inside is beautiful, really well set up and has everything we needed. It is a short walk to the Lake and not far from the city. We loved that we could walk over the road and enjoy a delicious breakfast and coffee at Stables cafe in the Canberra Hotel. The kids (9 & 11) usually share a room so they loved getting their own room with a TV each. And we loved the sleep-in that came from the kids quietly watching TV in their beds in the morning. Only problem is now the kids want to move in! We loved it too. Thanks ##### Marion T. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ciara M. 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Toot toot! Street noise of traffic in the front two bedroom meant minimal sleep for 4 of our party of 6. Fine if you drink or are a heavy sleeper, neither was applicable in our case. There were two pots only to cook with, and the oven wouldnt work at all. There were no instructions on how to function it, there were for washing the knives. Tv and heater in each room Very clean, nice little hamper of goods on the table. ##### Ciara M. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie O. 29 Dec 2024 ##### Julie O.
