Great stay. Quiet and private with everything you need. To send it to 11/10 I’d probably just suggest some better quality linen, we aren’t fussy but both struggled to sleep with the non breathable polyester doona covers and ended up putting our own on, more TP (3 rolls for several people for 6 nights didn’t cut it) and maybe a little weather seal strip on the front door to stop it rattling. Nothing to really complain about though honestly. Everything worked great, location was awesome, neighbours were quiet. We stayed after a surgery and it was excellent for this purpose.

The unit we booked was very clean and very professionally and thoughtfully decorated. Utencils and cutlery were of matching sets and not just random. Whatever supplied were of high quality. Altogerther we had a very good experience and highly recommend this property under Ready Set Stay management. I can't think of any negative point only if you have a car especially an SUV you might be struggling parking your car in the dedicated parking spot.
