5 guests' feedbackEnjoyed our stay, good for 8 adults.
The dishwasher was not usable. It only had a 15-minute cycle, which is useless. There was no Wi-Fi at all, and my daughter was told by a manager that we were in the bush. In this day and age, this is totally unacceptable. Two of the guests were international visitors and wanted to make contact with their overseas family members. I had a call a good few days after we left asking me if I was aware that two glasses had been broken. This was not done by us.
Perfect time away, we just couldn't use the gas grill.
Beautiful house, staff were friendly and everything worked. A wonderful weekend getaway.
The house is beautiful and fantastically furnished. However, the plug in the bath in the master bedroom is leaking and it rained at one point and then the roof leaked too. But we had a great time.
