lovely house for a couple or a whole family. Fully equipped with everything you could need, including a large attached garage complete with an AC Electric Vehicle charger!Location a bit down-market, but close to shopping centres and clubs, and very secure with the lockup garage with internal access. Don't be put off by pics on Google Maps. The house shown has been demolished and replaced with a lovely new one!

Great stay. House was very spacious, very clean and appreciated the air con being on for our arrival...meant the house was nice and warm in winter. Bed in the main bedroom was very firm. Liked that we could park our car in the garage and close the door before having to get out of the car in the cold. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Ken!

This was the ideal property. Clean, well stocked with essentials and beyond. Great kitchen with new appliances. Wonderfully stocked with dishes, cutlery, cooking utensils, glassware, cups, unlike way too many rental offerings. Our host was so easy to communicate with and was very helpful. A facility and experience.
