Family catch up
Property was ok, location was nice, we liked the nightly kangaroo visits. Front bedroom needs better blinds, far to light. There were alot of spiders roaming around,the bins were full of rubbish when we arrived, lucky we didnt have alot of stuff to put in them. Was an overpriced property, and thought it was cheeky to charge an extra,$200 for kids.
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024
