Highly recommend The Gums. Host Heather's communcation was great from the time we booked, prior to stay, during and upon leaving the premises. Lovely cosy, warm home. The weather was cold so the gas heater was a wonderful extra. The home has all amenities you need and more. Beds were cosy and very comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Definitely worth the money spent.

We traveled to Wagga Wagga, a charming spot near the lake. It's a lovely, quiet place just a short drive from shops and local attractions. The area was very clean, and there was enough entertainment for our young kids.

Really cozy place and a warm welcome from Heather. A great place to rest and recoup. Highly recommended. Note: If you have not used the Vrbo app before, perhaps download and create an account before booking. I booked a couple of stays (including this one) before I created an account and none of my bookings were accessible in the app despite using the same email address. It was only a minor inconvenience but it meant that I was not able to respond to messages from hosts or leave positive feedback in the app which is a shame because this place was great!
