Great property, lovely area & every convenience
The property is amazing, a well thought out church building conversion. Very comfortable, had everything we needed (and more) for a 5-day stay. Fully set up kitchen which allowed us to self-cater. Comfortable couches and bed. Bath, separate shower, washing machine and dryer. Lovely decorative touches throughout. Karin is a excellent host - nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend both property and host.

Charming old church decorated with antique furnishings
Karin was very helpful as the host and willing to help if we needed anything. Only downside for us the house has 3 bedrooms with queen size beds which made it difficult to share amongst 4 guys but we survived. If it is going to cater for 7 guests then definitely needs an additional toilet and bathroom.

Just want to say the place was fantastic and absolutely charming, we loved it. The place was perfect for me and a couple of mates for our annual getaway. The rooms are an excellent size, great tv, wifi that works, good sized fridge for drinks, easy access, plenty of parking and close to town. Karin was extremely helpful in making our stay awesome. Thanks for a great weekend, 5 stars all round Regards Jason
