Reviewer Comments:
The outside spaces were great especially for the kids. A few improvements are needed for a 5 star rating. The bedrooms in the main house would benefit from having mirrors to take the pressure off the bathroom. Wardrobes in all of the bedrooms is also needed as the guest house and one bedroom has no wardrobe. The guest house would also benefit from having a fridge as there’s only a sink and kettle so can barely be described as a kitchenette. Finally the kitchen would benefit from blinds or curtains so it doesn’t heat up so much late in the day.

Reviewer Comments:
Kids and families will have a blast but..... unless you value Sorrento strip being close then i would do your due diligence when booking. Unfortunately for the price it’s not worth it in my opinion. All issues may seem small but when you’re spending this kind of money you expect things to be perfect. The pool gate closing mechanism is broken and sometimes won’t close unless assisted which is a safety issue with kids around. Theres a smell issue with the toilets in both main house and bungalow, smells like s**t constantly. Spa doesn’t work at allThe sand pit for the kids isnt useableThe couch is yuck, in desperate need for a clean. I get it’s hard to keep clean with kids dogs around but this hasn’t been tended to for a whileAlso the codes for the electric doors don’t seem to change, friends of ours rented in January and same code unsettling knowing anyone who’s stayed has a key. To end we had alot of fun and our stay was nice, kids had fun was a nice 4 days. But for me when you’re spending the amount it costs to stay here i would expect better unfortunately

We had a lovely stay at this palm springs sanctuary! The photos simply do not do it justice. The property and grounds are amazing and there is just so much to do. Lots of backyard games were provided and the garage provides even more space for activities. Clean, tidy and fantastic location just 4 mintues fromthe sorrento main strip. We will most definitely be back!
