One of our happy clients

We love to hear from our happy clients, here's an email we recently received.

We were very fortunate to have come across Tracey and John’s rental advert just a few weeks before our long-awaited holiday to Perth.

Tracey and John were extremely helpful leading up to our arrival and offered us plenty of ideas of places to visit and things to do while we were in Perth; they also excitedly told us that we were their first paying guests!

On arrival Tracey and John met us at the rental and showed us into what was to be our ‘home’ for the next 3 weeks. The house was cosy and comfortable and we had kindly been left a ‘survival pack ‘ of essentials, which was much appreciated as we had arrived in the evening with three very jet-lagged and hungry children. There was even a very welcome bottle of wine chilling in the fridge but it wasn't chilling for long!!

The three bedrooms were spacious, comfortable and had plenty of wardrobe space for a family of five. The living accommodation was roomy and had all the mod cons needed to make our stay stress-free. In the lounge/dining room there was comfy new furniture, a large TV (it just a pity that it was wasted on the dire Aus terrestrial stations!!). The bathroom was spacious with a large shower cubicle, bath, and loo plus there was plenty of cupboard and drawer space for all our toiletries, etc.

We noticed that there was air conditioning in all/most of the rooms but as our holiday was during the winter (July/August) we felt that the property would have benefited greatly from having sort of central heating. We managed to heat the lounge quite well with the electric fire but the other rooms were very cold, even by hardened Brits’ standards!!

The kitchen/dining/family room was well fitted out with a double-oven gas cooker, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment and ample cutlery and crockery. There was a large table and 6 chairs and a sofa In the utility room there was a washing machine, large chest freezer (which we found very useful as we were on a budget and could buy food in advance and freeze it, thus also cutting down on the shopping trips). The iron and ironing board provided were also very useful and we were left plenty of linen and bath towels for our three-week stay.

Outside, to the back, there was a large covered patio area with tables and chairs, clothesline, a grass area for the kids to play on and a large garage and a carport with electric door. The whole back garden area was enclosed, making it safe and secure for the kids. The property was protected by a burglar alarm which, on our arrival, John admirably explained how to set and unset!

During our stay in Rockingham we were close enough to all the people and places we wanted to visit and, despite all the winter rain, we had a wonderful stay in Western Australia.

Thanks again, Tracey and John, for helping to make our holiday such a memorable one; hopefully, if all our emigration plans come to fruition, we'll meet again Downunder soon!"

Warmest wishes
Karen, Ashley & the Boys
