We are excited to offer our recently renovated holiday home to you to enjoy, as much as we do. The home and grounds are spacious with views of Mt Dobson from the patio, lounge and 2 of the bedrooms. The house has open plan kitchen, dining and lounge perfect for families and larger groups. Situated off the main road, we are a 2 minute walk to the supermarket, cafes, playground and shops. The house is easy to find. It comes fully furnished and ready for up to 6 guests with two queen beds and a twin room. There is plenty of off street parking and two car ports (not suitable for tall vehicles with roof racks or boxes). Heating is with a heat pump in the living areas, and heaters in the bedrooms. All the beds have electric blankets.

All the beds are in need of new mattress or at the very least, pillow toppers. Also, the pillows have been well used for many years.. so if you come tired and aren't looking for a restful night but convenience...it'll do the job. ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay 1 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Nice house handy easy to find ##### Kay Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig M. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very warm.
