Annette was a lovely host and very responsive. There was a slight hiccup on check-in regarding her cleaner but not at all her fault. House is a perfect size and the deck and views over the back yard were lovely. Plenty of bird life to watch and listen to. The bed was very comfortable and her lounge room so cosy. Hydronic heating is fast to warm the house. Location is only a couple of kms from Emerald and you can hear the Puffing Billy throughout the day :)
The house is private and set back from road, however the traffic noise was unexpected. Property is on a main road and sees heavy traffic noise from around 5:30/6am every week morning especially trucks. When using the back of the house — lounge, deck it wasn’t noticeable but the bedrooms are at the front. Not an issue if you’re an early riser and I used the time to enjoy coffee on the back deck each day!
