Wonderful stay in the beautiful Adelaide Hills
We were very pleased with the property. A couple of suggestions for the owner to improve the property is perhaps some fly screens on the bedroom for overnight ventilation and an extractor fan in the bathroom/toilet area. Great location being in walking distance of Stirling with great cafes and hotel. Close to all the delights of Mt Lofty/Crafers ranges.
