"The accommodation was clean and quiet and had plenty of room for 2 adults and two children. The yard was large and the pool clean and uncrowded. The barbeques are clean and well designed.The kitchen is a little small as is the bathroom but both were clean and tidy. A garbage can at the back door would be useful - the small container in the kitchen wasn't adequate. It's priced about right for location, condition and service."
