Jess is a superstar! We really appreciated her prompt communication and warm hospitality. When we couldn't find the guard for the fireplace, Jess was on it, and got one for us in an hour. She also helped us remove the potted plants before our arrival to minimise any mischief making by our 22 month old.
The house is light and airy, we had the blinds up most of the time as it was just so lovely to have all that natural light and to watch the birds visit the bottle brush and kangaroo paws outside our window. There were also thoughtful touches like a tub of toys in the cupboard to keep our monster occupied and a food cover for use in the microwave. It was a relief that we didn't have to bring our portacot and high chair with us as well.
The only "negative" thing I would mention is that wifi and 4g can be a little bit spotty because of the location. Not that we minded - we were quite happy to just chill out on the couch and enjoy the fire.
Thank you so much for the lovely stay, Ben and Jess. Hopefully, we'll be able to stay with you again in the future!
