"Property was as advertised and was really warm, welcoming and relaxing. Was time out I needed and was so warm and easy to settle in. Pet friendly and close to reserve. Appreciated fencing was not just for a small dog but could cope with those that might jump.Very clean and comfortable. Only downside was left tray in oven and was a bit smoky when heating oven that set off the smoke alarm. Otherwise absolutely perfect. Was great as a single but could see working very well for a family or extended family. Thank you for a wonderful stay Grant. Would be happy to stay again"

"Really nice clean place with modern appliances and furniture. Had everything we needed as a family of four during our one week stay. Close to the Kinloch General store and local walking tracks. Laundry facilities were excellent, although the dryer needed a couple of runs at a load to get everything properly dry. The shower was awesome; best water pressure I've ever experienced and fitted with a shower dome so it "saunas" nicely. Thanks for hosting us!"
