The property was well appointed with its secluded location. Having the mangroves just on the lawns edge was fantastic especially the walk and access to the kayaks. We will be back.

Relaxing Weekend away

Was a nice spot for a relaxing weekend. Kids loved the DVD collection which was great due to the weather not being the best. Even though the weather wasn't great, was still a lovely weekend away.

Great spot!

Lovely place to stay. Clean and tidy, really big lawn- great for outdoor games! The walk out the back of the house was really cool. Deck on both sides of the house for shade and sunshine. Both families really enjoyed staying here.

Very comfortable accommodation in a quiet, private location, perfect for a few days away. Warm and cozy even in the cooler weather. Good location for seeing the area. Dog friendly which was great (although not fully fenced). Would stay again!!

Great property

Was a lovely property in a great location. Only hassle was finding it, the instructions were not clear as it is down a private driveway that google maps got confused about.
