Disappointing
Location of property was good.I don’t normally complain about properties we stay in but this one was shocking.Cleanliness was disgusting.Oven trays in oven hadn’t been cleaned from last guests, mouse poo in kitchen cupboard. A loaf of bread in store cupboard was mouldy from previous guests. Frypans were disgusting rust and Teflon coming off.BBQ not cleaned. Mouldy windows all downstairs. Items were left in the fridge an insulin pen.Whoever cleans this house should not have a job there it has made me wonder if a cleaner actually cleaned it from the last guests.Will not stay there again.

Pleasant and enjoyment with one little hiccup.
The property is located in a prime spot with a view, close to town and is very nice on the inside. The only thing wrong was we had was no hot water for the first night but the property manager called someone in straight away to fix it. Turns out the hot water cylinder got turned off by accident. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would gladly come back.

Poppas 80th! A great venue for a family , very warm, cosy, and lovely views.
perfect for large groups and we could see it could sleep up to 16 people. Needs better signage. Both the caterer and our group struggled to find 28! Would recommend to others.

great family winter break
the chalet worked very well for our extended family of grandparents, four other adults and 3 preschoolers. the bedrooms accommodated us and two cots well, and the two ensuites were a bonus. the living room, kitchen and dining area were all generous and the log fire kept us warm and cosy. the mezzanine area above the living room was extra warm and provided an additional play area for the children. the driveway was not as steep as we had been lead to believe from previous reviews.
