Whether you're looking for a short or long break I can recommend this easy-going host and his home, where you're free to do your own thing, and to share time and space with other people.
The way the house is designed makes the most of the light and has some passive heating systems. The guest rooms and shared facilities are on the ground level, which is good if you can/don't do stairs. There was an electric blanket on the bed, plus a fire in the living room so no complaints for my Autumn/Winter stay.
During my visit, I saw how much care Stuart puts in as a host to keep his home clean and comfortable, while juggling other work/life commitments. His prices are very competitive so I expected to look after myself on the whole. Still, if you're around when he is, you may also get to experience other aspects of his great hospitality - mentioned in many other reviews.
This was my first trip to Australia, and also using Airbnb. I couldn't have asked for a better experience: comfort, peace, quiet; the opportunity to meet and talk with good and interesting people; sharing unexpected (in bold) delicious homecooked meals; wanting to come back asap!
So, if you stay more than one night, you're likely to meet your host and may get a sense of his trust and acceptance of people in his place, which was a home away from home for me. Otherwise, look out for the keystore and enjoy your stay! :-)
