Our host put on some really lovely extras such as a bottle of wine and we really appreciated the DVDs, games, books, as well as the well stocked pantry. A beautiful place to stay in handy to all the attractions. We loved the spa bath while our two little dogs enjoyed exploring the massive and beautifully manicured garden.

Unfortunately that was cancelled due to Blue-Green algae but we still went ahead with the weekend away. The house is great, very clean and tidy. Our kids loved their bedrooms and our dog was happy in the yard. It was a great location and would been perfect for Frost Bite. Hopefully we’ll stay there again. Thank you! ##### Tim G.

The house is immaculately clean and has one of the most well stocked pantries that we’ve seen in holiday accommodation. Rooms are all spacious, well furnished, comfortable and the spa in the master is a real treat. Wifi works well and was fast and strong enough to work from. Our pup and 8 year old loved the large backyard to run in and heaps of space to relax and kick a ball around. Location wise, just a short walk to the golf club and to the river. Thank you for your hospitality and looking forward to staying again one day soon! ##### Michelle H.

The house itself is incredibly well equipped with plenty of kitchen tools and appliances. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfy. The owners have even thought of sensor night lights throughout the house to make it easier getting around in the dark. And the back garden was stunning. The huge manicured lawn was perfect for our dogs and kids. We all felt both pampered and at home instantly. This is a house that people will return to over and over. We loved it and definitely will be back ##### Nicola E.

Deb has thought of everything, right down to the eco friendly cleaning products and a great selection of games and books. A delightful accessible main bathroom made it easy for our family member with mobility issues. Just a few minutes walk from the river, Bombora Cafe and a wonderful playground, a pleasant stroll in to the main street and wharf and a few minutes drive to the Barrages to see the seals. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We can’t wait to stay again. ##### Ronni W.
