“We loved our stay at the Adorable little container house!”
Communication with the host was timely, easy and friendly - Fiona accepted our request for an early check in so that we could get ready for an event beginning on the afternoon we arrived. The house had everything you'd need for a private, comfortable and convenient stay. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Everything was clean, tidy and uncluttered. There was plenty of parking right next to the house. The large deck was perfect for a lazy afternoon/evening in the sun. An added bonus was the beautiful landscaping which attracted the native birds. Highly rated our stay at the adorable little container house! A+ experience.

“Beautiful getaway spot”
The location was amazing, not too far from town but felt like you were far away in peace. The host/owner was lovely. Definitely recommend the stay.

“Delightful container home, warm, cosy, quiet and comfortable :)”
Best property we've stayed at in a while. Sure, the bedrooms are small, but we knew that going in, it is a container home after all. Not much room for suitcases/the hang clothes but perfect for a short stay. The beds were exceptionally comfy (I have a creaky middle aged back and usually rental beds are an issue for me). I slept like a log with no aches and pains in the morning. Thank you!!!! Very clever layout to the place which maximises the available space. Bathroom quite narrow but again this was to be expected.. Shower itself was good. Comfy sofa. TV etc and a good location for the event we were attending. Great host, very helpful in the run up to check in (which was super easy), but didn't intrude once we were there. We will definitely be back!
