Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was amazing we had a lot of little friends come visit the three ginger kitty’s we saw and daisy the dog, apart from the bloody mosquitos the place was amazing and well accommodated for all 4 of us. There wasn’t much to dislike about the place close enough to the beach and was amazing

Excellent location with view of the mountains and short stroll to the beach. The deck and outdoor settings with bbq was super, very tranquil setting with lush gardens. Our host made us very welcome with an abundance of fresh fruit. Very spoilt! It suited our needs perfectly all in all.
