We very much enjoyed our stay. Check-in instructions were clear and detailed. The Federation house is beautifully presented; clean and neat as a pin. With 2 separate living areas, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms there is plenty of space. The outdoor areas and gardens are also lovely; we enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner at the outside table. We really appreciated the extras that were provided for us on arrival; cookies, chips, lollies and Prosecco. Very thoughtful, thank you Raelene. It’s also an easy stroll to Pakington Street where there are cafes, restaurants and a range of shops including Woolies and Dan Murphy’s. We highly recommend this property.

Relaxing. High quality.
Raelene was a delight to communicate with. I found her to be very accommodative and easy to get in touch with. Her property was wonderfully presented and very comfortable. It was also ideally located, close to everything we wanted to see and do.

Thank you Raelene for being a lovely host. The house is beautifully renovated.
The house is very comfortable and clean. Bedrooms are large and beds are very cosy and comfortable. Just a short walk to great shops and eateries. My family and I had a wonderful stay and hope to return sometime soon. I highly recommend this beautiful accommodation. Thanks again Raelene
