Thank you Sanu, we look forward to hosting you again soon!
We all had a fantastic family holiday, and particularly loved the amazing views while enjoying lunch on the deck. The spaciousness of the property was excellent with enough space for everyone to stretch out and relax. Also loved the coffee machine! The location so close to The Bluff provided an excellent walking trail also. Many thanks for providing this lovely holiday accommodation.
Very happy to spend quality time in a lovely home with family.
only downside was no internet

Christmas with family
This property suited our needs perfectly. Great location and beautiful views with plenty of room for different ages. Only downside was it needs a really good clean. Dishes in cupboards and drawers were greasy and front of cupboards, fridge and even walls all look like they have something splashed all over them. Considering the price doubled for the Christmas period and we pay a cleaning fee on top I expected it to be clean. It’s tidy but definitely not clean.
The property itself is lovely, catered to all of our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The house could do with a good spring and the dishwasher is full of water so we did not use it.
We were very disapointed with our stay! The house it self and view are great but thats as far as it went. Alot of the pics online are obviously old. The washing machine and dryer are old and useless, washing machine kept dying during spin cycle and dryer cpuld only put in 2 items at a time. The house was tidy but definitely was not clean. There is no heating or blinds on the bottom floor. The pots pans and mugs etc are also very old and were dirty. As with the pillows quilts and even the couch all very old and should be thrown out. We booked for 3nights and ended up going home after 2, disappointing when you pay the money you do for these types of holiday rentals.
