Beautiful, cozy home with a wonderful view. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we need. It looked bigger in the photos, but the real house is still a pretty good size. Hot tub was great and hot (40C), but the pool wasn’t very clean, but it was too cold to use anyway. Check in was easy, and the property manager sent someone to fix the AC very quickly when we had a problem. Overall, recommended!
Enjoyed our stay, Beautiful views, Beautiful area. Lovely pool & spa. One thing I did not like was there was no where to store our food so had to have it all on the bench top. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels & nice big shower.
View was great room was nice but had rough finishings and items not maintained (coffee machine not working, cabinetry not closing, poor service from holidayhomes
Its a great stay but room needs some maintenance
