Easy to maintain. The hosts were absolutely amazing and able to help us with the hot tub to keep it warm for us while we were out. Bests hosts weâve stayed with!
Helen
Very friendly and amazingly clean - they even cleaned and refilled the hot tub mid week during our stay which was great. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
Bethany
The hosts Jan and Paul are super welcoming and very helpful. We loved the beautiful, peaceful surroundings and the sheeps, horses and dogs in the surrounding paddocks were so fun to watch. The hut is cosy, clean and has everything you need. It's also easily accessible and close to nearby towns and attractions. A highlight for us was watching the sunset from the hot tub. We took our small dog and the property is completely secure and fenced in so we could let him off leash which was great. The hut also provided treats and pet bowls which is a thoughtful touch. It's nice to stay in a dog-friendly property that actually cares about dogs! Overall a great experience and we would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!
