    Great location, quiet and private back of the house, very easy access to the shops and supermarket by using a walking lane between the neighbouring houses. We appreciated the comfort of the house, warmth provided by the heatpump for the cold nights! Great to have a washing machine and dryer ( and washing powder provided) so we could wash our clothes after a visit at the hot pools!

    Quiet location, very warm and clean. Amazing hot tub! Very central to the township. Up a slight hill, so the views were amazing. Everything you could need was on hand for a great weekend away. Simon contacted us to make sure we could get home as heavy rain had closed some roads out of town. Great host, thank you!
