Walking distance to Cataract Gorge; clean, spacious and comfortable.

Handy location and good facilities. Max was very thorough with check-in communication and welcoming. Dishwasher wasn’t working but not a huge issue. We were a group of 9 (extended family) so there was great spaces to socialise and also get some ‘space’. Mum has MS so she did struggle with the internal staircase, but we knew that may be the case. Beds really comfy and impressed by the laundry amenities and complimentary liquids or powder. Shower on mid level could spray on floor easily with small screen but if angled more towards tiled wall wasn’t and issue.Overall, clean and comfortable abode.

Great place for a family getaway

Fantastic property for a group/family. Had everything we needed. Comfy beds, wonderful kitchen set up.Plenty of extra heating in this home which is needed due to the location.
