Just what we needed.
We had a small issue that was quickly rectified by the team and would recommend staying here. The location is perfect, with people fly fishing on the narrow river at the back of the property. There is a fish/seafood grocery store in walking distance, and a bar that is part of the complex. A short drive away are all of the shopping you might need to take care of your requirements.

Nice view of the nearby stream and walking path. Located in a light industrial area but walkable (1-2km) to shopping and several nice restaurants and a nice park.
