Beautiful property

Beautiful house with everything you would need including electric beaters prefect for our pancakes. Lots of chairs and tables. The 11 of us were able to sit together and eat, then we had plenty of room to seperate when we needed our own space. Pool table was a hit. Seperate TV upstairs and downstairs was great. Thanks for letting us stay. Would recommend this property.

Hello Deb, Sorry to hear that, had you let us know we could have replaced it with the new spare coffee machine we had in store at the property. It is always a good idea to report these things straight away because most things can be addressed very quickly. Glad to know that besides that everything else was perfect for you then.

Great base to explore the island from

Our group had an excellent stay at this house. The deck has an amazing outlook - it’s at the very top of the hill and is quite secluded. Great to have the bedrooms upstairs and kitchen downstairs so the kids can sleep well. Plenty of space for cars and the portacot, high chair, baby bath, little tables and heaps of toys were very useful!

Great house for a large group

Perfect place for a large group. Bedrooms are all upstairs with the deck and kitchen is downstairs and lots of separate areas if you need some quiet time. The ability to use the resort facilities at the end of the day is great to have, and its a 1 minute drive down the hill to the main part of the resort.
