"Super friendly host, responsive & on hand when we had a question! I would stay here again, it's quiet and secure, with a lifestyle block vibe. We arrived in the dark, found access easy, and the kitchen stocked thoughtfully with milk, tea & Nespresso, fresh fruit and snacks. Bear in mind this is a compact tiny house, not made for swinging cats ;)"
