The house is warm and cosy yet spacious and very well appointed. It is clean and comfortable and only a few minutes' walk from the town centre. Beautiful linen and comfortable beds and pillows, extra soft and super warm blankets and very comfy leather recliners to snuggle into infront of the fire. It has a big backyard that our kids loved exploring and running around in and some lovely citrus trees that we enjoyed picking lemons and oranges from. The front verandah was great to watch the beautiful Goldfields sunsets. The neighbours are lovely and we enjoyed chatting to them. Thank you Karen, your home perfectly fit our family's needs during our stay and we loved your prompt communication and special little touches. We hope to stay here again next time we visit SX.
