From start to finish Allan and his wife could not have been nicer, more responsive, welcoming, helpful and willing to make my stay great (they succeeded!)
Do not be put off by existing photos, they do not do it justice, not at all - app' new photos are to be put up...fantastic; from existing pics house seems bit cold, sparse....not so.
If I'd not needed somewhere to stay urgently sadly I probably would have gone past Charmae, and that would have been a BIG mistake!!
House is so lovely, spacious, cosy and comfortable (I loved my stay there) - new photos need to accurately reflect the warm and welcoming feeling the house has...
Everything generally so fab & Allan is SO willing to learn & improve the accommodation and so keen to hear of any issues, it seems churlish to write anything negative but nowhere is perfect and they are new and are
having a few teething problems - entirely to be expected being so new (think I was 3rd visitor);
e.g: problem with ants at first, however, Allan responded as soon as he was able and dealt to them so that was all good!; mostly V clean but some dirty crockery, glasses etc - perhaps better checking of previous visitors?; had to ask for hairdryer (arrived v quickly tho'); couldn't find spare loo paper so had to raid 2nd loo (joy having 2 bathrooms tho!); hot water was tepid (brrr shower in the winter! but Allan sorted that v quickly); no mugs! I like a decent sized cup so I bought my own!; my pet hate, plastic kettle which makes the water, particularly the awful chlorinated water, taste foul (I bought bottled water); the cutlery etc looked like an op shop purchase (e.g. cutlery looked like it might have been in a fire or something)...I'm quite relaxed and see more the hosts kindness, effort and willingness and overall loveliness of staying in a place, but I realise some people could make a fuss if expecting total perfection(?!)...you only have to read some of the more bizarre reviews of accommodation or restaurants!!
Location perfect for me, close to Laird Park for my daughter playing netball; but to get into 'town' and probably anywhere else was still near perfect, all so easy to find and get to; in a lovely quiet residential area.
I would absolutely return to stay in this house and I would absolutely recommend it....
