The fact that breakfast was included for the price I thought was value for money. The owner was very welcoming. It felt more like a home from home. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

Close to town and convenient to 'attractions'. Car parking on the street, no dramas though. Kitchen and bathrooms congested at peak times - to be expected.

The property was renovated and modern on the inside. The only minus was as a chatted to one of the hosts. They didn't mention the breakfast arrangements so I didn't like to help myself from the pantry. The only minus regarding the property is it could use a paint on the outside some time.

The exterior is in need of some of the love that's been applied to the interior. The house was clean, comfy bed and helpful, welcoming hosts. Don't be put off from the outside.

Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Friendly and helpful hosts. Stayed with my 12 year old son in the twin room and he thought it was great. Only issue was the wifi wasn't working (which he was a bit disappointed about!).
