Located not too far from the main city area. Quite and peaceful place. Bed was very comfortable and the unit was very well presented. Check in was very easy and the host very nice. The best part the heater was on so it was very warm in the room.

We had a short stop over night before leaving very early the next day (5:30am). It was clean and comfortable however the shower dripped constantly and this kept me awake. I ended up putting face washers in the base of the shower to deaden the noise. It was a very quiet neighbourhood and the Indian restaurant right next door was delicious.

Would be nice if you had a smart tv and a lock on the inside of the door so the kids can’t just walk out. The place was very clean and the staff were very helpful and nice and we really enjoy our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was nothing I liked about the property. It was dated and run down. The cleanliness of our cabin was disgusting. Floor was filthy and sticky. The mattresses were old and yellow and super hard. There was seven of us staying at a cost of $225 and only one bed was made which had a sheet, a doona without a cover and another sheet placed over the top. The rest we had to make ourselves. I couldn't get comfortable cause I continually felt like I was going to catch something from being there. Then there was a drunk guy a few doors up who was screaming out for over an hour before the management dealt with it, meanwhile our children were quite scared with the situation. 100% dissatisfied.
