The house had everything we needed. Clean and tidy with ample room. Outdoor clothesline was very handy. Super location, quiet, close to the lake and a short walk into town. Host was quick to respond when we initially had difficulty booking online.

The kitchen was a bit lacking, but OK. There were three of us but only two spoons, so we bought some more.

Property overall in need of some TLC. Beds weren't comfortable and neither was the lounge furniture, which is very old and worn.Cleanliness and linen was top notch. Location excellent.
