We are always pleased
to hear from our happy tenants in our furnished rental property; and
have made some good friends whilst sharing our experiences.
"We
stayed at 14 Haselmere Circus for a month when we first arrived in WA.
The house was great, well furnished and spacious with everything we
needed.
The garden was gorgeous and backs onto a park.
The
location was very convenient for all the shops and services in Rockingham
and also close to the train station for trips to Perth.
Moving straight into a house was great as it gave us a residential address
for accessing services and getting established. It also helped us to
settle quickly as it was much more homely than other types of accommodation.
John and Tracey were a great source of local information and support
and helped us to find our way around, organise cars etc. Most of all,
it was a huge benefit that they had been through the process themselves,
so knew what we were experiencing both practically and emotionally.
Renting out 14 Haselmere definitely helped to make our big move smooth
and as hassle free as possible. We would recommend it to anyone else
like us, planning to move over from the UK.

"We
were very fortunate to have come across Tracey and Johns 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
