Just what we needed
We had a lovely stay in this unit, it was clean and tidy, and was well supplied with everything we needed. Great customer service from Wesley at Bachcare, he was very helpful and accommodating.

I was happy to be able to have our dog with us
Friendly environment although a bit dodgy
Just a comment as we experienced a fly plague,not sure where it came from as the property itself wasn't dirty and I cleaned everything I could again to ensure good standards but still flies where everywhere..
