Absolutely stunning property. Discovered thoughtful touches everywhere. By far the most comfortable bed EVER! Wonderful, generous owners who went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating.. All in all, we could not have been more impressed and are already planning a return trip. Thank you so much!

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely two night sojourn at this hideaway over the Johnstone River. Our hosts, John and Pam, showed us the ropes and made us very welcome and their border collie Charlie, sensing that we are dog lovers accompanied us on walks and sat with us on the deck for evening drinks. The studio apartment is very comfortable and well stocked for the interested cooks. Our privacy was ensured but we were also able to interact with our hosts if we wished. Id happily recommend this accomodation to interested parties.
