Such a peaceful, tranquil place. Kids entertained themselves with the endless activities, games, sports equipment. So close to the main beach with a safe lagoon metres away. Enough space for the whole family plus friends. Bird life, nature, sun and surf. Will definetly book again. No TV, wifi or social media made the weekend so much more family orientated

Amazing location right on the lagoon. A paradise for children with safe shallow swimming in view of the house. The house is so well set up for families and generously stocked with games, books and sports gear. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back! Host is super friendly and helpful too.

Margaret was very helpful, lots of contact and useful information. The property was as described and had everything needed for a family fun getaway. The location and views was the clincher for us, the photos don't do it justice. It was breathtaking and simply perfect. We are all keen to come again.
