    Being on the main road meant the traffic sounds came through at times. It would have been great to have a covered area outside the back of the house to enjoy the garden more also.

    The location could not have been better with proximity to great cafes, markets, parks, shopping and much more. The communication from the host was perfect.

    The TV is tiny and was not suitable for the space and 3 over 60's trying to watch it. There was no wifi at the property which I didn't notice when I booked, this wasn't a big problem as the mobile data worked fine here.

    The location was excellent, the cottage is very nice and had nearly everything we needed. The heating was great. The rooms were good and the beds nice and comfortable.

    Our room was great, my husband missed the WiFi. We explore in the morning and early afternoon. At around 3pm we like to get home and relax. My wife enjoys her TV and husband enjoys the WiFi.

    Location was fine, a little further out of the town centre than I normally expect, but it was close to the excellent botanical gardens, especially for kid, and there is little artisian centre called the The Mill, which has a Tap brewery serves good beer, but the the Pizza's are Yum, Yum, Yum. The rest of the place you may or may not like. Husband likes to have an early morning walk, many great places to see. The old gaol, now an arts centre, a must, but only open Fri, Sat, Sun 10 to 5.

    Tiny tv, but had read the reviews so we were prepared. Driveway is a little challenging but there is also street parking out the front. A bit of information about the property would have been appreciated - contact details, check out procedures, a little history about the house.

    Quaint and cosy vintage home with everything we needed for a two night stay. Clean, comfortable and warm (bed and shower were great). Eclectic collection of furnishings and decor.

    A quaint cosy cottage with welcoming hosts. Would stay there again.

    It is an old house, so the floor boards were very creaky. Part of its charm! It is on the main road so the front bedroom does have some noise, However it does die down overnight so not too much of a disturbance. And there is a very tricky tree encroaching on the driveway (on the nature strip) which makes maneuvering in and out of the driveway a little challenging

    A nice quaint cosy cottage that was perfect for two couples to stay in. It is walking distance to the main town. Everything was spotlessly clean and it had all the facilities you could want. The hosts were very welcoming and called when we first arrived to make sure everything was OK. The beds were very comfortable and for the Winter months it had plenty of nice warm heating.
