"Booked within 30 mins of checking in. The woman who helped me check (assuming owner) was very welcoming and friendly with a smile on her face. When i first entered into the accommodation, the room was very clean and had updated features like bathroom, kitchen etc. The private hot tub was extremely large, unfortunately i didn't get to try it out. Partner enjoyed the sauna in the shared complex area. Very happy with our stay. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!"
