Well stocked house with all that you need.

Great location, nice amount of space, clean and quiet.
The mattresses probably need to be replaced, they are a little more than soft.

Just a short walk down to the lake for a swim. Great facilities and very clean.
Upstairs bedrooms got very hot…. But the Fans and skylight were appreciated.

Fairly good location with a bonus garage to use, has a bbq 2 bathrooms and a powder room. All usual house hold features including a smart tv.
No A/C meant uncomfortable nights sleep in summer even with a fan. There is a Karen who lives next door who I unfortunately met within the first couple of hours being there, bonus was the satisfaction of knowing the front door is a quality door…I found this out after closing the door on her…this was a positive on the property. Despite Karen we would happily recommend staying here. Just don’t block the door path even if you are unloading your car 🤦♂️

It was a nice home to stay in while away from home.
Had everything you needed and more you didn't expect.
Very pleased with the whole property.
I did stuff up my dates and lucky I was able to stay another night with the family.

Amazing spacious, accommodation with fantastic facilities making it home from home. Perfect for a family of five with enough space for everyone.
Nothing.

Good location near the lake.
The mattress was too soft for me. It's not convenient for parking because no light setting is around outside the garage,

The close proximity to town, the outdoor area and the layout of the home.
5.0
The fire was lit on arrival which was absolutely amazing.
Nothing, loved it
3.5
Plenty of space.
No Dryer in the laundry and the underfloor heating did not appear to work properly - the house was quite cold.
3.0
The house is cozy and spacious. It was lovely to come to a home with a fireplace lit up and warm home.
There was limited internet data allowance and internet was very unstable. I would expect this would be the basic for a Airbnb property, especially for the price I am paying. In addition, there was dead and live cockroach in the garage, which is disgusting. The hot water in the kitchen was cloudy and the bathroom shower door was ajar. Overall I feel the facility does not live up to the price I am paying.

Beds were excellent. Enjoyed the courtyard, the space, we were able to self cater and do some catch up washing.
it was pretty tired, flaking paint, a broken light etc.
4.0
Location close to city centre. Quiet, nice housing area.Private with the surrounding trees.
House creaks a lot. One toilet noisy. No opening window in 3rd bedroom, could be noisy if sleeping, with people in the lounge talking, with the open outlook although this could be shut but it would be airless.
4.0
This was an awesome place that exceeded our expectations. We had 3 adults and two young kids. The rooms were massive, water pressure was perfect and the living areas opened onto an outdoor area where we had barbies. The lake is at the end of the street and so is a really good coffee cart. All prefect access for a morning run, swim, coffee.
The outdoor chairs (the arms)need a bit of love.
4.0
The spacious lounge was so inviting, plenty of bathrooms around the house, and a great layout kitchen.
You have to enter the driveway very slowly as its quite vicious
4.0
the beds, shower pressure, homely
outside chairs hazardous, an hour’s handyman work needed - indoor chair and outside folding seats, shower door, fridge door, carpet curled up in the lounge easy to trip on,
5.0
Location awesome.
Very cozy, comfortable house
4.0
House was very clean and suited our group of four women, having the 2 bathrooms to use when getting ready. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and there was easy access in to the property.
There was not enough light in the bathroom upstairs for makeup.
5.0
Beautiful house for a group of friends
3.0
Did not like the message about the carpet and if it got marked. The carpet was eaten by carpet beatle.
Thought all the facilities were on the cheap end.
The batteries were going flat in the TV. Had to switch off at the walk. The shower in the ensuite wouldn’t face out properly and there was water all over the floor from this. It came out the shower door which didn’t align up well.
The hairdryer was falling apart.
No dryer was an issue as we used the towels to mop up the shower. Weather was not good enough to hang washing in a line. Used the indoor AFrame but towels did not get dry.
