Quiet in Geraldine

We enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent, a short walk across the bridge down the st to the retail area. The living area was large. Heaters in every room kept us warm .

Excellent holiday home!

This was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. But still retained its character as a lovely old villa. We totally enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay

3 of us were in Geraldine for golf weekend. Location perfect, very short walk to town, place was spotless, spacious and comfortable with plenty of heating. Pity the fire wasn’t working. Make sure you bring your own milk etc, will stay again.

Convenient and comfortable

We only stayed here overnight but the house was very comfortable, spacious and close to town via a walkway and bridge over the nearby river. This house is set up for families and larger groups too, not just for a couple. Very quiet and nice outlook onto the garden. We would stay here again.

What a lovely clean and spacious house, perfect for our family, the location is great, close to park

What a lovely clean and spacious house, perfect for our family, the location is great, close to parks and nice bike rides. We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed, even puzzles and games. The kitchen was very well equipped and everything was spotlessly clean. Thanks very much, I'm sure we'll be back :o)

Great place that can accommodate a large family

A very spacious home that is only a short drive to downtown Geraldine. The house had a very large open kitchen, dining and sitting area. Beds were a bit soft and linens were extra. Nice outside decks on the side and back for sitting out.

Geraldine retreat

We loved our stay in this surprisingly spacious house. Nice and cool on scorching hot days. Great location - just a short wander through the park to the town centre. Toys to amuse the kids and a couch for everyone!! Just note that the bookabach site says there is a pool and there is not one - just so you aren’t disappointed’n
