Summary: The positives was the house was very clean. Modern kitchen - pet friendly - comfy beds. The negativesWe were disappointed that it was a very old TV system & that you couldn’t even get Channel 7 visual on either TV.The driveway was very bad. It scrapped the bottom of my car. We didn’t expect the 10 stairs to the front door as all guests have bad knees & found it difficult getting up & down the stairs. The backyard was very over grown. There were more steps to the laundry. There was no laundry access & we couldn’t see if there was a washing machine or dryer in there. We needed to use the dryer if there was a dryer. Access to the shower was poor as one of the guests was elderly & couldn't step up into the shower.
