Summary: The house is located just up the hill from the main part of Oban, which was great. We were able to walk to and from downtown easily and we were able to walk to most of the tracks that we hiked on. The four square grocery was well stocked. The house was warm and met our basic needs. The grill didn’t have a propane tank attached to it & took us a minute to figure out how to ignite the kitchen stove; there was no guidebook or instruction to show you how to use it. There is no house phone, no Wi-Fi and if you’re international, then you had no easy way to contact the host. (Discovered WiFi at NP Visitor center.) So there were a few frustrating moments while we were at the property. We were never able to figure out how to turn on DVD player. So on a stormy night when you can’t walk into town, it was kind of a drag not to have access to some kind of entertainment. We used the time to read, so I suppose that’s a good thing.Highlights: Aurora cab company. Greg is awesome, totally worth it. He Shared stories about the area, and the cab fares were reasonable to the various tracks. It’s like getting a little tour without paying the premium prices that were charged for the various tours. Another highlight was game night at the south seas hotel pub, sit at the pool table if can join a local group. Very fun. Get a SIM card at the grocery so you can make local calls. Do water taxi to Ulva and port Williams (hike back is beautiful).
