Peaceful hideaway with stunning views

Amazing location, and the house was cosy, private, immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Incredible views, and we loved the spa overlooking the sea. Excellent communication from hosts. Only issue was some trouble accessing the property due to mud from recent heavy rain, but host was extremely helpful in making sure we arrived safely. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful setting, with the clean and very comfortable accomodation making for a great holiday experience. We hit a few challenges with amenities, so would have happily given this 5 stars otherwise. Despite this, we would like to commend the hosts for their fast and helpful responses in addressing the issues. Much appreciated!

Really really impressed with this place. Its immediately obvious the owners have tried to make this place a genuinely great place to stay by just thinking about the little extras. The place itself is immaculate. The views are absolutely wonderful and its extremely private and just a great place to relax. The owners have absolutely made a welcoming home by providing a place with everything you need. As you will likely want to make your meals, the kitchen has everything you need. Everything is extremely clean and tidy and new. The spa is a place to sit regardless if its a beautiful sunny day or a good wild rainy day to watch the ocean. Just one thing to note, if you have a low slung FWD rental car, you will need to take a bit of extra care on the access drive. Definitely a fantastic place to hide away for a day or 3. Great communication as well.
