House was great, pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids. Balcony has a beautiful outlook and very well appointed with bbq etc. There was a fairly serious fly issue but I think that’s a result of the region , there wasn’t anything further the owners could do abouit that . There were fly screens everywhere and fly repellent. Overall I would definitely recommend for a family or anyone travelling with kids. Thanks Tim!

The host went out of his way to be helpful.Some of the amenities are in need of little care.The inside of this home is amazing however the very slippery tiles around the pool when wet and in the shower plus the very steep steps make this beautiful home not suitable for older people or young children.

We spent a lot of time out there.The beds were really comfortable and the house well stocked.There were fabulous walking paths around the lake, which we took advantage of each morning.It's the perfect house for a big group.
