Les points faibles : Emplacement
The house is beautiful and the little outside area and garden are lovely. The downsides are that the wifi is terrible & the house is adjacent to a busy road which has enormous trucks travelling to or from the port all through the night. While the accommodation is wonderful, you have to be a very heavy sleeper to endure the noise & shaking caused by the trucks.

Old world charm
Arriving at The Front Office was like walking into a Somerset Maugham novel with the large outdoor palms, the solid leather and wood furniture and the classical library all set in large generous open spaces. We loved the open-plan kitchen/ dining area which provided a perfect place to come together, and share the cooking.

Very spacious!
We loved the large amount of space at this lodging! Each bedroom had plenty of space, including large closets for unpacking and storing your clothes. The kitchen is large with plenty of accessories for cooking. The master room and ensuite felt luxurious, with lots of room and comfortable bed. The location is a bit unusual, as it's located at one end of a large parking lot, and next to a fairly busy road. But we didn't hear noise from the road while we were inside the home. I recommend this location if you are looking for larger spaces.

The Front Office is incredibly well appointed and spacious. It's definitely in the upper ranks of all such accommodation. For two couples it was perfect and we still had a room for one of us to work from while there. It's close to the CBD and is great value. If you're particularly concerned about road noise it may not suit but for us the other factors more than overcame that.

Great House
Loved staying here. We were initially surprised by the location as it sits within the Mitre 10 carpark however once inside it is spacious, clean and very private. We stayed over a long weekend which saw a lot of rain so the house offered a great refuge for us. Unfortunately we didn’t get to utilise the outdoor BBQ and dining area but this would be great for afternoon lunch or dinners.
The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are also very large and comfortable. It’s been beautifully renovated. We would recommend this house and hope to return.
