Secure property with gated access overnight. Villa clean. Kitchenette could benefit from microwave dishes for heating food in place of pans as there is no hob to use the pans.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Each unit was separate, as a single unit with gabled roof. This meant it was quiet. There was a laundry and pool, great for those of us who had returned from walking the Larapinta Trail. The back of the property borders onto the golf course, which was a good dining option. Town was only a 20-30 minute walk (depending on how fast your walking speed), so good access for shopping and the fortnightly market. The property had its own kitchenette, with coffee and tea making facilities as well as a microwave. This was very handy. I will definitely stay here again.
