10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Oh my gosh, this property far exceeded our expectations. Stunning home with all the modern amenities and then some. Modern kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds, massive dining table, and lounge room with Netflix etc. Even a view from the kitchen window of Arthur's Nest gondola. A special touch was the lemon tree that was overflowing with massive lemons in the front yard.
