The property was clean and comfortable with good off street parking. Maybe, at most, 1km from major shopping centre. Across the road from mini mart and good takeaway shop. It suited our needs perfectly. The owner was very pleasant and helpful

Was okay, but would have preferred air con rather than a fan heater. It was the first place we had a microwave, which was great, however the shower took a while to drain, which meant the floor got wetter than we like.

Good location. Unit looked a bit tired, needed a spruce up. The bed sides had no firmness so when you were near the edge you ran the risk of rolling out. No allocated parking spaces for each unit.
