Disliked: Communication
The house was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The garden is beautiful, the river was great for the family to enjoy. Only issues were that it should be disclosed that 4 wheel drive is needed to get out. Our activities were very limited by how difficult it was to leave this property. Host was incredibly difficult to get in touch with. Vrbo messages went unanswered, voicemail suggested email, then after taking 7 hours to answer the email they suggested I should have called for better service. Fixing those 2 things would make the perfect place.
