Enchanting quiet beautiful location. Stunning rambling garden and friendly dog, beautiful bird life. Fresh fruit and flowers in our apartment!

Beth New Zealand

Very cozy place hosted by a nice guy Bill, who even provided some fresh tomatoes and corns. Has everything you need like (kitchen stuff, cable tv, internet). The place is actually in a bush, so lots of birds and flowers around.

Armis Lithuania

We loved the quietness as it was a lovely bush setting. On one of the nights the power went out and the lovely host brought us touches and a radio to use.

Rosanne Australia

It was quiet with no traffic and beautiful gardens. We are used to pitch black at night and no noise and this was the ideal location.

Zoe Australia

It was a lovely, peaceful location with a great outlook onto a pretty garden. The apartment was nicely presented, including a vase of fresh flowers, Easter eggs, Tim Tams and a bowl of fresh fruit.

Rosemary Australia

Very clean. Bed was comfortable. Host was very friendly and went to trouble to make the stay a memorable experience.

Marguerite Australia

Cosy. Lovely gardens and thoughtless extra touches left for guests like fresh produce, flowers, biscuits and Easter eggs for kids. Host was polite and considerate.

Boyle Australia

Lovely quiet location. Beautiful garden setting with lots of birdlife. Our host Bill was friendly and generous, providing vases of cut flowers, a bowl of fresh fruit, and a newspaper on the first day. The apartment is cosy and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Alison Australia

I enjoyed exploring the expansive garden and having a nice chat with the owner. Definitely a piece of paradise.

Sharon Australia

Bill the owner eally took care of us. He even had milk in the fridge, coffee and tea. Breakfast was also available from the kitchen cupboard, and if you arrive around at meal times, or late in the night, there's also food in the cupboard ,
