Great family house

This house was ideal for a family group with a range of ages and a dog plenty of space to spread out. Really enjoyed having the sun porch set up as a games area with a variety of games. The lego and pick up sticks were especially popular. Well appointed living, kitchen, dining area which made meal prep while keeping an eye on children very easy. The rear of the section was well fenced and great for our dog. Only issue we had was a lack of a bathmat and handtowel in the ensuite. An information sheet about rubbish disposal and local amenities would have been useful. The management company were very helpful.
