The house is an older-style home and could use a little TLC in places, but it was clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a full laundry (with washing powder provided) and good wifi and mobile signal.The view was absolutely awesome and definitely a highlight. Communication with the host was great. Tips for future guests: the area is very hilly, so we recommend backing up the driveway in 4WD or park on the street. Pick up your basics from Coles and Dan’s, just 5 mins away.Overall, we had a great stay and appreciated the space and the beautiful outlook. ##### Sharon F.
