Beautiful property in perfect location

This property was perfect for our group of two grandmothers, two teenagers and us. The floor plan worked really well with both grannies having their own comfy beds and ensuites. The house is period in style, feels like home and had all the modern comforts with TVs in the living room and bedrooms, wifi, Netflix and outdoor seating. The location is excellent being just one street in from the main road and closer to the better end of Thompsons Avenue. The agent was very easy to deal with.

3 weeks that became a fabulous 4

Fabulous The home was beautiful and we were very sad to leave. Due to Covid we were able to stay an extra week at very reasonable rates. Thankyou to the Owners for their understanding. Thank you also to Sue from First National who was extremely friendly and accommodating. All in all a wonderful 4 week stay.

Cozy Clean Home

We loved our stay, home was so nicely presented and lovely and clean. We had 6 adults 2 kids and 2 babies stay and there was plenty of room. We loved the location we could walk to main street. We used the fire inside and out which was really enjoyable. We also cooked there as there was no shortage of kitchen utensils or appliances. Beds were comfy kids loved it, would have no hesitation staying here again. Thanks
