The house was lovely and well furnished. The dining chairs and sofas were comfortable. It was great having 2 reverse cycle air conditioners, one in the living room and one in Bedroom 3 (the kids retreat), to keep both ends of the house cool. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans etc. We loved the bright artwork around the house.
The backyard was spacious and the lawn was green and well maintained. It was wonderful having riverfront access, and it was great having access to 3 kayaks to paddle on the river.
There was a large amount of covered patio space, enough for the pool table, table tennis table, barbeque, and outdoor dining table, and spare recreation space. It was lovely having the option of indoors dining or outdoors dining, depending on the weather. We had trouble lighting 3 out of 4 of the burners on the barbeque using the automatic spark so ended up needing a long match.
It was great having a pool table and table tennis table, though we were a little disappointed that the pool table was a bit uneven (we had to prop it up to make it more level, but even that didn’t fully fix the problem) and the table tennis table was a bit warped. We were disappointed that the air hockey table was unavailable despite it being advertised in the listing.
Other reviews have mentioned problems with noise from the road, but we didn’t notice any road noise. It was convenient having a Foodworks so close by to buy groceries. The house is in a very quiet area. We found the location to be a bit isolating, but others might find it to be tranquil.
It was convenient having built in wardrobes in Bedroom 2, and a bedside table on each side. The air conditioning didn’t reach into Bedroom 2 very well, but fortunately there was a pedestal fan.
The bed in Bedroom 1 took up almost all the room's space, leaving little space for luggage. Two bedside tables rather than one would also have been appreciated.
The beds in the kids retreat are somewhat uncomfortable, with springs felt clearly. The wardrobe was appreciated, but without shelves or many coathangers it wasn't useful.
The bathrooms were clean and modern. When we arrived we thought there was only 1 bathroom, but then we found that there is a second bathroom accessible via the patio. Both bathrooms have a toilet and a shower, and one has a bath.
Location was nice with respect to the river, but there weren't nice walking paths or bike paths from the house.
Overall we were happy with our stay and we would recommend the house to others.
