They are going to have to come up with a better name than Moonah Shades. On the second day of our stay a bulldozer leveled the entire block of Moonah trees next door which was creating all the shade.The garden is tired and unloved. The watering system was off and there isn't much greenery. The grass is pretty much dead, it's mostly dirt. The open space at the very back of the property, next to the studio is unkempt and basically unusable.People with pets beware the front gates don't latch closed. You need to faff around with rocks to keep them closed.Inside the property is nice, its clean and comfortable. The dining table seats 4 people, the property sleeps 9, so people end up eating off their laps. The dishwasher is tiny, you'll end up needing to hand wash. There are 1 million bowls but only 9 plates.Beware, there is a camera with a wide angle lens mounted in a way that would capture private spaces outdoors. The agents are aware of the camera and claim its only pointed at the entrance, it is not, it takes in most of the private yard.

Great place

Great place. Comfortable beds. All clean and tidy. Perhaps a dining table bigger than a 4 person seating to accommodate the possible people

The hosts were fantastic. They were incredibly kind and we loved staying in this house. The house was amazing too, I personally think it looks much better in person. The couch was super long, the barbecue was clean and came with tools. The house was clean when we got there. It also came with plenty of firewood and some fire starter.The only real issue we had was that to our knowledge there was no mop. There was also a fairly limited supply of hand towels though this can easily be resolved by bringing a few of your own.Apart from that, I would seriously recommend staying here. We all had a fantastic time and the hosts and house were amazing.Thank you so much!
