We stayed at the cottage for a week, let in by Gill's friend since she was out of town, during a colder week in early July. The cottage was a great value offering a convenient location near the city, nice washer, and kitchen facilities. The wall unit air conditioner / heater on the upper level worked very well and quickly could warm up the upstairs. We were able to borrow a space heater from the main house for the downstairs though it could still stay chilly. The main detractor for us was that there were many tiny ants, mainly in the upstairs bedroom area - but we didn't mention this to the host as we've had this issue at some other airbnbs in Australia during the same trip so feel it may just be the season / a common issue. We did very much appreciate the great value for the money though, the friendly welcome from Gill's friend, and their allowing us late checkout since we had a late flight and they had no one coming the next day - that was very kind of them!
