It was clean, spacious and we felt right at home. The kitchen had everything you needed and the large open plan living meant we could prepare and eat meals whilst watching out for our little ones. Additionally the bedrooms were closed off from the living area - great for nap times. The kids also loved exploring the enclosed outdoor grass area. The place is great for adults too. Location is really close to the hot springs, golf course and a short drive to some great coffee. Bookabreak were fantastic to deal with and they were so thoughtful by making check in/check out easier for us. Would definitely recommend. ##### Liza
