Helen is an extraordinary host who shares her home, dinner, stories and knowledge. We were more than happy with our stay, wished we would have stayed more than one night.

Everything! The house has a lot of cosy charm about it and the owner/manager Mel is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She checked in with myself and the lovely young couple who I was sharing with to make sure that everyone was comfortable and happy, you couldn't find a nicer manager.

Very beautiful and stylish layout, especially the dining area. The host family must be real artists! Really like their taste of the beddings. And the room is so warm that we were sweating at night!

This place is within a comfortable walking distance from both the airport and several budget friendly car hire places, with a self check in process that meant I could check in at 2AM without causing any bother. The room is immaculately clean and comfortable, and the bed in the room is perhaps (not kidding) one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. There’s even a kitchen with free tea, coffee and bread. This place truly is a homestay, and a brilliant one at that. Steven is a friendly guy.

No breakfast but lovely hosts with very comfortable bed, a small lounge and bathroom. Warm, and inviting. Hosts have a small dog who has his own delightful happy personality. Easy to praise the hosts and the accommodation. The accommodation is situated in a relatively new subdivision of quality homes.
