I feel so lucky that we had a chance to stay with Michelle at her lovely home. She is just so warm and welcoming, yet completely sensitive in judging how much interaction people might want to have. We arrived there after a long day travelling with our little boy (17months old) and walked into this friendly, peaceful sanctuary. Loved that it was not far from the airport, and the local shops were very handy too (supermarket, food options, bank atms, etc).

Michelle went out of her way to make our stay comfortable, despite the fact we were only staying one night. She made up a portacot for our little one and let him play with her grandkids' toys.

The house is spotless - not just the guest accommodation but the whole house - and Michelle has thought of every detail. We didn't want for anything... except maybe a reason to extend our stay by a week!

The bed was so comfortable, the shower big and generous, with handy separate toilet. It's a big room and you don't feel at all cramped or like you've been put in someone's bedroom... in fact, you almost forget the others are there!

The family was so quiet and respectful of us being there in the evening.

It was our first time both travelling as a family and, for my husband and I, staying in a place that wasn't completely separate accommodation. We were totally pleasantly surprised at how delightful and restful our stay was.

All the best, Michelle and family. Hope you were able to have your family Christmas together in the end. And hope to see you again sometime. We'll search only for you and try to book ahead!
