"Fabulous location with access to all the things to do in the area. Well equipped and a beautiful peaceful setting."

10.0

The property was an excellent location for activities in the area. The hosts had thought of everything, even a plan for a little power cut. The accommodation was very well set up and we had everything we needed which made it even easier to enjoy the peaceful location. Highly recommend this property.

Absolutely nothing we didn’t like.

"Great views, but too hot. Basic facilities and cleanliness not attended to. We won't be back."

4.0

The lounge area and kitchen was spacious. The view was amazing.

The dishwasher had not been put on or emptied from the previous stayers. Therefore there was no clean bowls or mugs. The kitchen rubbish bin had also not been emptied from previous stayers. The air conditioner/heat pump was stuck on a timer and could not be turned on - it was incredibly hot up in the apartment and we could not turn on the cooling - making our night very uncomfortable. The TV was not set to normal TV channels - we only wanted to watch the cricket, but couldn't.

"A great break away in beautiful surroundings."

Great location as we used this as a base to do a bit of exploring. The grounds of the property were beautiful and it was so quiet. Every little extra was provided and the hosts were very friendly.
