About the host
Hosted by Herb Larratt
Hello, my name is Herb - Darling on Garling commenced in 2014. My home is very welcoming, comfortable, private and spatially well organised, just the way, I hope, you would like it to be.
A number of families and their pets have enjoyed long term stays whilst their own homes are either being renovated or they are awaiting property settlement.
I take care of the property when I'm not travelling and reside, from time to time, in separate and private accommodation on the lower level.
I have 5 adult children and 14 grandchildren.
I'm friendly, helpful and always willing to oblige to ensure that your stay will be enjoyable and a wonderful living memory.
