A little bit of paradise

Had a wonderful birthday/girls weekend. The house was amazing and the view was to die for. Weather wasnt warm enough to make the most of the expansive balcony/deck however the dining and lounge areas were very large and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you 😃👍

Acacia Bay winter retreat

Beautiful interior decor with stunning close lake outlook. The only negative was in winter in took a while to get properly up to temperature. Perhaps managers should turn on the heat pumps prior to visit? As a place it was superb.
