Those who like privacy will enjoy it here.
As a member of our quiet community, we invite you to have fun and enjoy your stay, but kindly ask that you respect our neighbors by keeping noise levels low.

We also have a small cabin available to rent at the rear of the property. While the cabin and your space are entirely separate and private, guests may occupy it during your stay. The cabin’s kitchen and bathroom are located below the apartment. If the cabin is unoccupied, you’ll have access to the washing machine (located in the cabin guests kitchen area). Otherwise, we recommend the nearest laundromat for your laundry needs.

Well-located and comfy place for a short stay. The queen bed was delicious but I wouldn't recommend the sofa beds for adults - they curl up at the ends making it impossible for a tall person to lie straight. Much better for kids.
A warm and clean home, didn't get to explore the river and meet the eels which was a shame!

Excellent communication with Owners, had a long power cut and they provided us with candles so we weren’t left in the dark. Property has everything you need, highly recommend.

Loved our stay here. Just what I had imagined from the photos. Very clean. Excellent spot with bush and creek as back drop. Great cafe down the road and close to supermarkets and town. Would definately stay here again.

This apartment was the perfect first stop for us after our long flight from the US. Quiet and well equipped. Easy access to town for an evening meal. Jet lag didn't bother us much so we were happy that it was so close to some great hiking and attractions. Communication with the owner was easy and replies were prompt.

Landlords excellent communication...only took one star off for tenant staying in the shed...played loud music and was confrontational with my husband regarding us using the dryer. Place was beautifully located and cleanliness top notch! Would visit again.

We had a lovely holiday in this property. The accomodation was very comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed and such a beautiful outlook onto the creek! The hosts Leone and Mark we’re very helpful and provided all the information we needed. Only one suggestion which is to put bright tape on the step down to the sun room as it is a bit of a fall hazard.
I would highly recommend this property for a brilliant holiday. Thanks Leone and Mark.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was a great location for relaxing at the end of a day of exploration! I loved the creek sound in the backyard and feeling like I was sitting in the forest from the comfort of the sunroom couch!
The space was clean and the beds were comfy! Leone was very helpful prior to check-in to ensure we had all of the details we needed.

Not an accurate description.
I only book stand-alone properties- whole house, unshared. This was attached with shared walls to a unit next door, one downstairs and a cabin in the back. Photos are very edited and manipulated. Homeowner next door begins VERY loud yard work with banging metals and pressure washing early in the morning on weekends. Broken fixtures and trouble with mold and bugs. Nice folks, but I don’t recommend it and I would not return. I wish them the best and hope they can make the improvements required to bring the space up to par. It could be a nice stay for a family. but not a working professional. The pricing and adverts should reflect that this is not a standalone house. This is a duplex with 2nd rental in basement and 3rd cabin in back of residential neighborhood.

Clean and awesome location
The property was just right for a family of 4. No shortage of facilities. Everything you could think of was available. The sound of the stream behind the property is song to the ears.
Exceptionally clean and newly renovated.
The response from the property managers were excellent too.

Great comfortable place
We stayed 5 nights at Marks and Leones place and had a very comfortable and nice time there. The weather was very nasty so we have spent a lot of time inside the house.
Spacious, spotless clean, comfy beds and very charming with the little stream just in front of the garden. Very good communication with the owners and directions to and inside the house . Thanks to Mark and Leone
