Such a beautiful location. Clean, very comfortable bed, great spa and view from deck was amazing. Kristie and Joanna were fantastic, made us feel welcome from the minute we met until we left.
Myself and my partner absolute loved our stay here. From the warm welcome from Kristie and Jo, easy check-in, beautiful scenery and awesome hot tub, it made a great homebase for us for the weekend.
They thought of everything and the property was absolutely spotless. Highly recommend!
Would love to keep this place secret but its too bloody awesome not to share. The most comfortable and relaxing stay we have ever had any where. Left feeling like we had had a holiday. Thank you so much for a great experience and we will be returning soon. Phil & Deb
Hubby stumbled across this little beauty last minute and boy am I glad he did.
Great location with a beautiful view.
Everything was just amazing!
Feel so relaxed! Didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be back.
This property is beyond amazing!
Neat, tidy, secluded. What more could you ask for. A gorgeous morning sunrise. Well, it came with that too.
Kristie & Joanna are amazing hosts & have gone above & beyond to make our stay welcoming.
What a fantastic relaxing spot to stay in a beautiful part of the world. Equipped with everything we could want and more.

Kristie and Joanne are two warm women who welcome you hospitably. We wanted to visit a doctor for our daughter and they helped us very well. Everything went well. They take good care of their guests.
