Aileen
In a good position for the town and surrounding areas. The shower was wonderful. Kitchen has everything you need, not that we cooked much. Large living/ dining room. Owners very friendly . Our dog Bruno enjoyed himself and it was good to let him out in the garden but had to remember to close both gates. Close to Norrie Miller and Rodney garden river walk. We even see the Otters under the the Queens bridge. We will definitely be staying here again.

There was everything you could possibly need and more. Quiet, warm and comfortable with plenty of hot water. There wasn't anything I would say that was missing. It is also in an ideal location for getting about.
