Conveniently located, great views.
Beautifully renovated. The inclusion of a clothes dryer and an extra blanket for every bed would be
most useful.
Loved the fireplace and the layout of the kitchen.
Many activities provided eg: kayaks, bikes, cricket bats and board games.

The house felt like a home. It was spacious, well appointed and comfortable. Though just 2 friends having quiet time out, the house would also suit an active, outdoorsy family

We loved staying in this property, very homely and clean. Excellent location and very comfortable for our family of 4. My only suggestion for an improvement might be some fly screens :) Loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back

The property was great. It had everything we needed (and more). We enjoyed a paddle in the kayaks on the river just over the road, and it was easy to relax in the lovely house. Great facilities for cooking. Our 18 month old grandson enjoyed the toys and watching the rabbits. Overall, an idyllic holiday location.

The accomodation was clean and had everything needed for a great time away. It had a great covered outdoor space with bbq and pizza oven, an outdoor beanbag and hammock, a large fenced garden, a shed with bikes, boogie boards and life jackets, and two kayaks which we enjoyed in the river just across the road. Location was perfect - walking distance to cafes, river, beach and playground.
We would recommend this accomodation and would definitely stay again.

We stayed at this house for two nights at the start of October. The house is in an awesome spot right beside the Prosser River and close to everything. The house is modern, spacious and spotlessly clean and has absolutely everything you need. We walked in and felt at home. There is a great outdoor entertainment area and yard. Our hosts made us feel extremely welcome and we will definitely be back.
