Island life amongst the koalas

House accurately described with modern comfortable amenities. Backing onto nature reserve but unable to sit outside due to excessive mosquito activity. Mosquitoes bad inside upon arrival and no insect spray provided. First purchase from mainland next day! Unfortunately this did impact on our enjoyment of the property. Very safe enclosed garden for our dog.
