Such a fantastic home

Loved it!! This house was better than I could have imagined. We really enjoyed our time. The location is incredible and easy access to transport, cafes, shops and restaurants. Everything you need is in the home. This is an eco house and the airflow through the home is incredible. The beds are so comfortable and I just felt happy being there. Iona was a pleasure to deal with and was super helpful with any questions we had. Will stay here again at the next opportunity we get.
