The house was being renovated but everything was tidy and nothing effected our stay. The outside deck was great for our meals and getting out of the sun. Fully fenced back yard for our dogs and grandchild. Bathrooms were lovely and having a washing machine was fabulous. We had a great time, our hosts were great with communication. Would recommend anyone to stay. Thank you

Great location.

Great location. Charming place. Clean and tidy, with quality items in the house, such as good glasses and manchester. Good books/mags. Walking distance to beach- will involve some walking and climbing a steep set of stairs carved in the bush, but we actually really loved going for the walks around the place and benefitted from a bit of excersize. Surrounded by very cool vineyards that are all worth a visit. Private and romantic.
