We really enjoyed our relaxed 8 day stay here. It is a large home with lots of space, private backyard and covered pool that our children enjoyed. (There were some pool noodles/toys to use). The house is older but in good condition, the bathrooms were recently renovated giving us 3 toilets and 2 showers to use. There was plenty of toilet paper/shampoo/conditioner/washing powder/dish soap which was really nice to start with and replace when we ran out. I purchased extra hand soap for the extra bathrooms/showers. Sheets and towels were clean and the king bed was very comfortable. It is in a quiet area across from a primary school and a very short walk to McDonalds and Forrestfield shopping centre with Coles, Safeway, cafes, bottle shop and a great little playground to keep the kids happy when popping in. We communicated with Path, Shanthar's father who was friendly and easy to contact. We also had groceries deliver to our house an hour after arrival which made life easier. My kids also really enjoyed the disco ball in the lounge room. It was very handy having a washer and dryer especially with small kids, there was no dishwasher but this was not a problem for us as we ate out most nights. The dryer blew a fuse but we simply switched it back on located out the front door. The electric outlets in the bedrooms are very low to the floor so our large iPhone chargers couldn't be plugged in there but an extension cord was provided which did the trick, (all other outlets were higher). There were some door handles that were loose but still locked, and some external sliding doors that didn't connect due to age.
We really enjoyed the covered pool area. Before we arrived I contacted Shanthar to ensure it was clean/in working order. We were encouraged to use the pool and not the spa as it was needing some cleaning. Path came to show us everything including how to test and add chlorine. We also added water to the pool as the water level got low during our stay. This was a good family house and if there are any problems or requests Path was easy to contact and willing to help.
