Lovely, relaxing and spacious house. Enjoyed our getaway..

8.0

We loved the the privacy and views. Great that pool was in shade and great that they had full shade over the deck.

The driveway in and out was tricky to navigate. Extremely steep and at one stage had to reverse uphill to allow other car to use access. The bedroom air conditioners stopped working (though no one’s fault) however made for an uncomfortable night.
