Fantastic house

This is a lovely property, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of room and very comfortable. The heated pool is a bonus! A good central base for any expeditions in FNQ. Fiona was great to deal with, very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we get the chance.

Fabulous destination

We were a group of 2 couples looking for a relaxing holiday with a lovely environment to stay in. We were not disappointed.

Would certainly stay here again.
