Great place on the coast

2nd stay at the property and still didn’t disappoint, great place to relax and get away from it all. Only issue is fridge took nearly a day to cool so may need looking at, we came prepared so didn’t effect our stay, definitely will be back again

Amazing sea view from the lounge. A lovely private house with great facilities and an excellent ambiance. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it. All the better if the fish and chip cart (Coastal Cove Cuisine) at Ngawi is open and serving grouper and chips.

This is our second visit to the house and it was as stunning as the first. Thank you again for letting us spend time there. We absolutely love that coast and can't wait to come back and visit again. What a beautiful part of the country. It was so good to come back to the house and spend the evening in a comfy bed.
