The house is perfect for those looking for a rural retreat. The verandah is a nice spot to enjoy the surrounding native bush and gardens. One downside of the rural location was the abundant possums (who loved running around on the tin roof at night) - great if you want get up close with the native wildlife, but not so good if your a light sleeper (bring ear plugs). Everything was as described. Catherine was a good host. She was quick to respond to messages and fast to resolve a problem when the boiler broke and the hot water stopped working, within a couple of hours of reporting the problem.
