We stayed at the Heritage Home over New Year and it was perfect. It is located about 15 mins away from the V&A area so a car is necessary. The area is nice and peaceful and its quite nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas. The house has lots of security features too so we always felt safe and nearby is a big common where we walked the dogs and were not hassled at all. The house was lovely and clean and everything we could need was provided, even some yummy biscuits and some breakfast items to get us going which was a nice touch. There is a grocery store, liquor store and plenty of restaurants nearby, along with easy access to the freeway to get to the touristy areas, so everything is handy.
Sandra the host (and her family) were very helpful and responsive to email. This is the first time i had used airbnb so was a bit wary of paying and not hearing from the host but it was totally the opposite...even though we never met we chatted like friends!! Any questions we had while we were at the house Sandra was able to answer too.
The animals at the house were great and nice to have around, the dogs were super sweet and the chickens laid us eggs each day for breakfast.
I would highly recommend this house, it has everything you need, nice and spacious and in a lovely area and the hosts were really lovely!!
