This is a beautiful property with a nice mix of old and modern with wonderful character. Location is excellent and within short walking distance of shops and main town. Very spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen.
Property was perfect for our family of 6 and pet dog. The whole property is enclosed and was in the perfect location. We stayed for the port half fairy marathon and was able to jog down to the start line which meant less worry for us on race day! Communication with the property was seamless and we had everything we needed during our stay.
Beautiful cottage with character and charm. Modern facilities inside and a fantastic adjoining bedroom/ensuite room. Cosy and warm in Winter. Fully enclosed big front yard for furry friends. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Loved it would recommend

Great position. The cleanliness of the property could of been better. Plastic champagne flutes were not ideal, especially when there badly scratched and dirty.
