Great location for the CBD. The yard was secure & big enough for my 2 dogs (large breeds). Lovely area to walk & close to Coles, bottle shop, chemist etc.

Brilliant location, spacious, overall tidy, clean and comfortable. Quick response via the chat function and even accommodated our early check in. Thank you!
Very comfortable and warm. Double glazed windows on the main road side of property. Clean and crisp decor. Bit of damage to furniture and limited seating in loungeroom with a 3 seater and single for a home that can accomodate larger numbers. Needs either gas hot water or larger HW cylinder as 1 shower and hot water was out. Inconvenient if you had 6 adults staying there.
