With a 6 month old it was so well set up with a washing machine and separate end of the house bedrooms. Super handy to the launching ramp and close by to the amentiites of both Duvachelle and Akaroa. Lesley even empties the dishwasher and washes the bedding if your require- great value and homely vibe Thankyou :) ##### Cat M.
