Chris and Viv were friendly but also gave us space to be anonymous. We thoroughly enjoyed the garden and watching the galas. The kitchen was well equipped with a comfortable sofa. The only thing I would request is all cotton sheets on the bed. A lovely place and we hope to be back. Thank you. ##### Jacqui R.

The place is clean, well furnished with all the amenities and comfortable. Best of all it was quiet and located in one of the best suburbs of Perth. Chris and Viv are such nice and lovely hosts. They inquired after my needs several times and made me feel really welcome and comfortable. I needed a late checkout and Viv allowed me to stay without additional payment though I offered to pay. Thank you so very much Chris and Viv. In my opinion you are the best hosts in the whole of Perth. ❤️ ##### Mahadeva E. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### byron k j. 25 Mar 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### A Throwback Rental in Changing Times This place felt like a throwback to the 1970s replete with cob webs, dust, and bugs. If you long for barking dogs in the house (and yard), no privacy except for the bedroom, towels so brittle you wouldn't use to dry a car, and worn-out, floral bedding, then this is the place for you. One evening, we returned to this rental only to hear a raucous dinner party happening a few meters away on the other side of a "privacy" door. Another evening, the barking dogs were serenading us from the yard and from the other side of the same privacy door. Yeash! ##### byron k j. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maureen B. 17 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Tired old beauty All the positives of this property were overshadowed by a tired and dated interior. The mattress was compressed, sagging and really difficult to sleep on. The pillows were flat and should have been thrown out years ago. The towels were discoloured, hard and worn. What could have been a beautiful experience was ruined by nit being able to get a good nights sleep. The place just felt tired, dated and uninviting. There were beautiful gardens. All was not lost. ##### Maureen B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam P. 12 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful scenery Had a lovely long weekend stay. Both Viv and Chris were very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for a fishing getaway and the backdrop of the garden to wake up to was amazing. Thank you for the stay. Adam ##### Adam P.
