A great place to relax indulging in nature
A great place to relax indulging in nature. A beautiful river with panoramic views looking through the windows. The house accommodates big families and children friendly. Lorraine helped us through in every question that we asked and she was welcoming.

Great property for large families/grouos
Large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for large families or groups. Great location in a quiet court overlooking the Hopkins River and a five minute drive to Gateway Plaza. Kitchen was very well appointed and there were numerous living areas to spread out in. We had a great time in the pool.

Very good experience staying with large friends group
Good property. But details such as how to use the heaters for the pool was missing hence we could not use the pool. It could have been easier if a phone number to contact was given for ease of communication
