The house is very impressive. The view is extraordinary. The pool was warm enough even for this old bird to get in, though I had to kick the kids out first. The kitchen had everything we needed. The driveway took my breath away but you gotta work for those views. It was easy to check in and very very comfortable. Thanks for having us.
The property is beautiful, perfect for the weekend away with friends.
Amazing views and stunning sunrises and sunsets. The house is well appointed including everything you need.
The nature shower in the ensuite is something else.
Would definitely return again and recommend to friends and family.
Couple of days fishing offshore and calling this immaculate property as a base. Tanya was very clear and accommodating to all requests and questions and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing!
I went away for the weekend with 4 other friends and we cannot rate this accommodation any higher. It was even better than the photos. Absolutely stunning location. House was beautifully furnished with the most comfortable beds, and lounges. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could want or need and the cleanliness of the home was top notch we will definitely be back again in the future.
A beautiful house with amazing views. A wonderful way to spend the weekend celebrating turning 50. Eumundi Markets & Matsos Brewery only 15 minutes away added to the appeal of the house. Would definitely book again.

Thank you for your kind review Nicola, we are so pleased you had a wonderful stay celebrating your birthday.
Staying in such a luxurious and spacious house, has left me completely recharged and ready to tackle the world again. The view from the pool and decking are second to none, with mountains close enough to touch and the ocean in the distance. Morning coffee and evening drinks are made all the more appealing with the comfort of this tranquil hideaway. First class appointments and utilities finish off this property with the finesse one would expect from such a beautiful country homestead.A truly wonderful experience all round.Many thanks to the hosts for their hospitality and the respect for my privacy received during my stay.
We had a wonderful stay with some notable highlights, including the stunning view, spacious layout, comfortable beds, and great appliances. The furniture was also a nice touch, making the place feel homely.However, there were a few issues during our stay. Unfortunately, there was no hot water on the last night and morning, and the gas in the stove was out during that time too. A broken flyscreen to the deck and two faulty wooden blinds in the main bedroom were also minor inconveniences. For older guests, the main bedroom had a very high shower head and a slippery bathroom floor. An anti-slip mat and handrail would improve safety. Additionally, there were no chairs or table in the main bedroom, which could be a practical addition.We also had only one tea towel for the entire visit, and the toilet brush was rusty and broken. While these were minor issues, they did stand out in an otherwise great stay.Despite these issues, we still had a lovely time and would definitely return!
