The positives: Narelle is a great communicator and incredibly helpful. Whilst it’s close to the city, it really does feel like a country escape. Beds are comfortable. Basketball court, table tennis table, pool table and swimming pool meant kids were entertained for hours without need for screens!
We were fortunate to have great weather when we were there and take advantage of the beautiful pool. Only warning is the pool has no shade (there were 2 umbrellas, but both were broken), so it is often too hot to let the kids swim during peak sun of the day.
House was more “aged and rustic” than we expected. There are a lot of decorations, which makes it feel cluttered and dusty. Kitchen drawers are held in position by Blu Tack, which means often all the kitchen drawers would open on their own!
