We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous home with breathtaking mountain views ! The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver. The pool was a fantastic bonus, providing the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The location was ideal, with plenty of amazing eateries nearby. Nathan was super responsive to our queries, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend !"

This brand new accommodation was beautiful and well equipped. The pool was a massive draw card.The only thing it needs is some hedging and or planting to give it some protection from the wind and to block visibility from the street and more grass cover as the bare dirt in parts gets blown into the pool on windy days.

Thank you Rhys for your lovely feedback
about your stay!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the beauty of the accommodation and the pool. I truly appreciate your suggestions about adding hedging for wind protection and privacy, and more grass to reduce dirt around the pool. I'll look into these improvements to make the experience even better. Hope to welcome you back soon!
