My sister, mum and I recently had a little family reunion here and it was absolutely perfect. All the utilities you need and so close to a sweet little park that was wonderful for my toddler. Great communication with the owner Sharlene and she was so helpful with accommodating to our bedding needs. Definitely recommend! Short walk to Woolies as well which was very helpful.

Lovely, clean house in Great Location
The home was very clean, comfortable and well stocked for all of my family’s stay. It is also in a great location close to stores and the trains but feels private and quiet. The playground right outside was perfect for our son! Sharlene was a very attentive host and helped with all our needs.
