10.0

Incredible location and a really cool, unique property layout. So perfect for indoor/outdoor living. Like the best ever version of glamping! Loved the bed with big windows and LOVED the shower. So nice to have a few homemade and local brekkie items provided as well! Also loved the paddle boards!

A few cobwebs gathering in the corners.
