Loved it! The space, the layout of the house, the backyard, the facilities, the local shopping centres were all fantastic. My only regret was not reading in the description that the garage and study were not available as part of the house. But more on the good stuff!
The house is an excellent design, which you could almost describe as 3 parts: front of master plus lounge, middle of open kitchen and living room and back for bedrooms. The best part was being able to almost close off these sections from one-another. A night we had younger kids asleep in the rear and older watching tv in the front. In the early hours of the morning, we had the young ones in the kitchen while everyone else slept in.
The backyard is private and very well maintained. Great place to play games with the kids, cook a bbq and enjoy an evening meal. We also used the shed to keep our bikes dry.
For the local area, I was originally unsure about a location a few km's away from the centre of town, but this actually worked really well. The closest playground is less than 100m away and you don't have to cross any roads to get there. The kids loved it. The local area is also brilliant for bike riding around. And there are two new and excellent shopping centres nearby for easy access to supermarkets and restaurants.
We had a fantastic holiday and Rebecca was a fantastic host. The house was very clean and beautifully well presented and the communication was excellent! Thank you!
