Great house and location.
We loved the house. It was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 teens for our long awaited few days away after a long time going nowhere. We particularly loved the design and use of recycled materials. The passive heating and cooling was amazing. We loved the info provided that explained how it all worked. Being a cooler time of year we only used the heating. We found we had to turn the hydronic heating way down or off, as we did upstairs. Would love to visit in summer to experience the passive cooling in action.
Bedrooms are very generous in size, very comfortable beds and good linen. Downstairs has a seperate toilet and vanity area seperate to the bathroom. A bonus with teens. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. We didn’t cook while there but the stove is definitely perfect for a serious cook up, and lots of bench space. The outdoor areas are lovely. Beautiful views from the front deck, and a beautiful secluded area out back/side with a lovely garden with lots of native birds. This opens out from the living room and in warmer months this area would be well used.
Only critic would be to have blinds on all upstairs windows. We stayed on daylight savings change over weekend. So it was light very early. Also if you have a bigger car, 4WD or SUV you cannot park in the garage. I was planning to back ours in before we saw the sign that said no 4WDs or reversing into garage. Due to gradient in front of the garage some lower cars might scrape front or back bumpers trying.
Most of all Wendy was so fantastic with her communication and transparency for our booking. I asked before booking well in advance what would happen if covid impacted our booking. Wendy was great. If we couldn’t get there we got a credit. We didn’t know until days before our booking if we could get there due to restrictions in our region. Wendy was so understanding and told us it was ok if we needed to cancel last minute. It all worked out a treat and we got there.
Would definitely stay again.
