Clean and comfortable and great for a group!

Clean and tidy house which was great for our group of 7 friends.Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of glasses / plates / knives etc and a large fridge. Beds were all comfortable, lounge and dining furniture all great for a group. Too cold to use outdoor area but it looked great and would be good to use in warmer months. Martyn (host) was great with information and communication prior to visit too.House is in a suburban area so definitely need a car to get around.

Perfect home for multiple families

This was a great home for our basketball tournament. Close to all arenas and the communication with the hosts was phenomenal. I would recommend this property. Thank you again.
