Very impressed with the size and cleanliness of the place. We loved the artwork and kitchen appliances provided. My only suggestion to make our stay even better would be more bins and boxes of tissues for the bedrooms, more tea towels in the kitchen and hand towels in the bathrooms. ##### Bonnie L.

The property itself is stunning and had everything you needed, close to shops and beautiful walking spots, the neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Host is responsive and helpful.

The house is huge and the location was great for us. Will was easy to deal with and accessible when needed. Unfortunately the bathroom in the ensuite was a little grimy and could do with an extra clean and the kitchen could be stocked with more glasses and a few little extra condiments for the price you pay to stay. Thank you for having us. ##### Anne C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim W. 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Attractive mid-century house The property was perfect for our group of 5 couples. A very interesting house in a great location and with plenty of room. Air conditioning was great for a cold weekend. Unfortunately you weren’t permitted to have a drink or walk on the carpet which ruled out using the lounge room, so all our time was spent in the tiled dining room. Also more linen would have been appreciated. ##### Kim W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne K. 6 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family catch up House location and cleanliness was good. It was disappointing that a house that slept 12 only had enough crockery and cutlery for 10. They were 4 wine glasses short and there were no champagne glasses. ##### Wayne K.
