Comfy beds. Clean rooms. Pet friendly, fully fenced.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
The location right next door to Cataract Gorge was perfect. The house fit out could use a bit of finesse. The inclusion of the high chair and porta cot was perfect, as we were travelling with a one year old. Would have appreciated some plastic plates, bowls and cups, but that is just being picky. There is a lot of ground level power points that would have benefited from some child proof plugs. The couch is the lounge room is old, uncomfortable and almost worn out. There is a slight ant problem in the kitchen, but understandable given the location. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is plenty of pillows. Loved the heated towel rail in the bathroom.
