Waterscape Apartment

NathanielRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Enjoyed our stay very much at Jackie’s! The place was clean and comfortable. The only thing that might need a little work on is the water heater. We went during winter so hot water was really important. However, it was difficult to control the heater temperature which made it a little difficult since we traveled with an infant. Nonetheless, the stay was amazing and the location was fantastic!!

The Little Blue Cottage

ReneeRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Lovely historic cottage to spend the weekend. Great location, out of main township so very peaceful, however it was also not far to walk down to it. We thought it might be chilly staying in winter but the log fire worked a treat. Plenty of walks in the hills when weather allows. Loved seeing and hearing the native birds.
