Stairs on entry
We were disappointed there were 4 stars to get to entry, and another 2 steps inside, we had 2 disabled girls with us, and this was not mentioned anywhere! House outside was unkept, bins full and lawns were long, and yard untidy, dusty/dirty furniture and outside area, so that they were unusable.
The house was a little better, but quite dirty on inspection, lights didn’t work, tv remote stuck together with sticky tape, just seemed unloved, and needed some time spent giving house a spruce up. House was comfortable enough. A few appliances didn’t work, but we got by.
I don’t mean to be picky, but the house and yard needs some love

Plenty of space for us all and easy walking distance to town.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay. There was plenty of room for the seven of us and it was an easy walk into town. The football oval and skate park located at the end of the street was great for the kids. Any queries I had were answered promptly.
