Actually king single so the single fitted sheet became the top sheet as they didn't fit the mattress. TV was a debacle. Driveway is dodgy. Other than those things it was lovely ##### Margaret B. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ponnorraks O. 8 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good stay overall.. We stayed with friends and had young kids. Plenty of space for the kids to run around inside and out. Overall it was a great place for us to relax and lounge around. The guest house doesn't have AC and the fans weren't working. It had a stale odour which required airing for quite some time. We had issues with the drains overflowing from the kitchen sick , toilets and even in the shower which wasn't very pleasant, however the owner promptly arranged it to be fixed quite quickly. The TV.... was very challenging to operate. Would have preferred linen to be provided as part of the package. It wasnt clear that we have to hire or bring our own. ##### Ponnorraks O.

Overall a very lovely home to stay in and i would definitely book again, thanks Steve. ##### Sara J.

Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for some space, peace and quiet. Fantastic house & Guest house with plenty of room for families or groups of friends. House is surrounded by trees. Very easy booking and check in process and very quick email reply. The drive into forster was 30 mins or so but is a very beautiful drive past the lake and ocean which didn't bother us at all when we went into town for food, golf or bowling. Overall 10/10, id love to return ##### Adam T.
