“Our family had a great time at their beautiful home. The kids enjoyed the spa, slides, swing and all the toys and books inside! So much so, it could be hard persuading them to go out! The host was very accommodating and responsive to our questions and enquiries. The location was fantastic, close the the city centre and the main highway. Would definitely come back and highly recommend to everyone (esp if you have children).”
