    Don't read this review if......you want to find a well kept secret. We rebooked while staying here for the following year. A mum with two kids - this was perfect. Comfortable beds, spare blankets, air con upstairs and portable options for cooling downstairs. Glorious to sit on the balcony to watch the river (and some training/races with certain boats). I could watch my children in the playground/park across the road and know they're safe. A great chance for kids to develop some independence in a safe way. Cooking - very well appointed kitchen. Only challenge is the electric oven is not fan forced which is not what I'm used to, but learnt fast. Shower pressure is excellent and nice and hot. Small patio at the back with the washing line to dry bathers, towels etc. We will be back for many years to come!

    Incredible location, especially for families! Scenic river views from the lounge area, a top tier playground literally across the road, and just a few minutes walk to a great cafe. Overall the property was great value! It is looking a little tired, e.g. main bed upstairs is heavily rusted, but overall the place was clean and tidy and met our family’s needs. Thank you for having us :)

The road out front doesn’t have much traffic and there’s a great walking path along the river. The lower level has two bedrooms each with twin beds. Plus full bathroom and laundry.

    Location is great with a beautiful view. We think the property is over priced for the following reasons: You had to provide your own sheets and towels, there wasn't even a bath mat provided which made it unsafe coming out of the shower. The doona covers on the single beds are vey thin so I would have been cold if the other bed was occupied. The mattress was very hard and the springs were digging into my side. The blinds also need fixing. There is no WIFI provided which is usually standard with accommodation these days. I think the place needs a little money spent to make it a more comfortable stay and a good clean.

    Excellent location for us, so close to the golf course. Water pressure upstairs for both shower and sink needs reviewing as the shower did not have a lot of pressure and the taps in the kitchen were the same. We all had showers downstairs and that was much better. Although was enjoyed our stay we would recommend that the beds in the bedrooms are in need of replacing. The sunrise was beautiful from our balcony. Thank you.

    The house was lovely, we had stayed here before and enjoyed it. We had an issue with the bathroom window upstairs not closing. The first night we were there, it was very windy and we couldn’t close the window as the chain on it was rusty and had seized up, therefore making the door to the bathroom rattle all night. Also the floors were a little dusty. Apart from that everything else was great, very comfy beds, heaps of crockery and cutlery etc in the kitchen. I would stay there again if the need arises.
