The kitchen was fine. As we were there for 2 weeks we really needed a pantry. Lady next door was lovely. We had a lot of rain and the outside area was not the best with all the strong winds.

The kitchen was set up with everything you could possibly need. It was very pet friendly including puppy pee pads ( which we didn't need but great to see. ) Loved the safe back yard for the dog.

Lobely property, wasnt aware it was a duplex until a couple of days before which would have been nice to know as my kids can be noisy and I don't like subjecting others to that if I can help it.

We love the shsck. We always come with our own supplies. So we werent too worried that the cleaners didnt get to do there top up of toilet paper etc. The unit was not dirty as the clients before left it in great shape. The dish washer was full but kitchen clean and tidy.We have stayed here a few times now and have always been satified with the fridge size and warm showers and the layout of the unit.We love the lady next door .she is such as wonderful soul. The cleaner came to make sure we were ok and i ensured her we were fine.Thankyou for our little breaks and we will.always be happy to return.
