MATT (Feb 2026 - 2 weeks 5 nights)

Penny and Matthew are a lovely couple, and have a great home in Wigram. Awesome location, with everything you need just a short walk away, but also good bus links to town. Very clean and well-appointed house and easy to look after. Gin is a beautiful dog and I feel very fortunate to have spent a couple of weeks with her. She's loving and affectionate and her excitement in the mornings and on her afternoon walks is infectious. A great companion! Would highly recommend to anybody.
