Overall very good.BBQ was in disrepair and neefs to be replaced.There was no gas in two gas bottles which was very disappointing and inconvenient cooking for eight people.The coffee machine was complex with no instructions on its use.

Great property for large families/grouos
Large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for large families or groups. Great location in a quiet court overlooking the Hopkins River and a five minute drive to Gateway Plaza. Kitchen was very well appointed and there were numerous living areas to spread out in. We had a great time in the pool.

Very good experience staying with large friends group
Good property. But details such as how to use the heaters for the pool was missing hence we could not use the pool. It could have been easier if a phone number to contact was given for ease of communication

Perfect accommodation for our group of 6 couples.
Plenty of space to relax in your own space or big enough to cater for us all in one space.
Amazing views and very clean and tidy.
