This accomodation was about the only part of the trip that DID go as planned. After a messy flight and arriving much later than we planned, it was relief to have no trouble checking in, getting the key and finding all the amenities, linen etc that we needed. The house itself is a little tired in parts, but as a result it feels more like staying in a home rather than a hotel. Proximity to the shops was a big plus. The kids loved the backyard, which was tidy and safe. I didn't actually have any interactions with Syd, as we simply didn't need anything. Wifi, foxtel etc all worked with no fuss.
Thanks!
