I have stayed in many homes around the world and this by far has been the best. Linen, comforts, pantry goods, heating and birds were in abundance. A very relaxing place to stay and all the utilities were easy to operate. The driveway was also much easier than expected. We had no problems whatsoever

Amazing property in the Belgrave area! Communication was superb. Nicely upgraded interior. Wonderful to have a coffee in the morning on the deck and watch the kookaburras and cockatoos, among others. Everything comfortable and cozy ! Would return ! Lovely 😊

It had lovely views and was nice and quiet. We could see alot of effort was put in with certain things such as the nice towels and blankets. The laundry was super handy. One thing in particular was the blinds and lack of decent safety hooks for the cords. This was an issue for us having little kids. The kitchen door also desperately need to be sealed to keep the warmth in and to close much more easily. The blinds need a good clean or to be replaced! The beds could do with a topper to make them more comfy.

Comfort and wildlife!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very modern and offers a great view of the surrounding area, and is not too far from great restaurants and public transport. We loved the daily visits from friendly neighbours such as parrots, kookaburras, magpies and even a cockatoo!

Nice and cosy

So far one of the best accommodation during our winter visit. Nice house especially with all amenities made available by owner. If there is anything to improve is the weather proofing on the doors. This would save a lot of energy to warm to house.
