Perfect experience!
This is a luxury experience! The location out-of-town (with views across to Victoria ) shouldn't worry you- the buses into town work like clockwork. The property is so well-equipped, with cupboards containing all sorts of extras. The second bedroom is more than a den - a proper room. Gifts of wine and biscuits were much appreciated as was the stock of tea, coffee, laundry liquid, oil, etc. The only thing that I would change is that while the mattress on the main bed is comfortable, it is quite soft, so there was an element of 'roll together' ! We have rarely stayed in self-catering accommodation as fabulous as this one. Huge thank you to the hosts - we presume they lived upstairs though didn't meet them.

Thank you :)
I was doing major repairs to my foundation and needed a place for my tenants to stay while the work was being done. While I wasnt the guest, I know the hosts took great care and were very patient! It is a lovely place with caring hosts - thank you!

Amazing stay. Fabulous home
I can’t say enough about this beautiful home. We arched the full moon rise and then the next morning saw the sunrise. Very comfortable, clean and exceptionally well-equipped. Ruth responded immediately with our questions. Located near all the things we wanted to do- hike, pickleball, stand up paddle boarding and visiting downtown ( 30 minutes away. Loved it all. Thanks a million, Ruth.

Beautiful
We had the whole lower level of a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. It had high ceilings and lots of windows with a nice view. Everything about the place was well done, well equipped and very clean. Ruth was a great hostess who had tried to think of everything including a welcome basket filled with treats. Thank you, Ruth.
