Perfect paradise

Perfect place to relax and unwind in a gorgeous private garden setting. We had no need to leave, this was absolutely perfect for our family to spend some much needed time together. The pool table and dart board kept the teenagers happy as well as the friendly pet pigs. Lisa the host is lovely and responds to messages really quickly. Highly recommended this property, we may even come back!

Lovely House and Garden

We really enjoyed our stay at Isness. The house was very clean & well-kept, and we appreciated the staples stocked in the kitchen. And loved the crisp white linen in the bedrooms. The garden is so relaxing and we enjoyed seeing the animals. The location is good as we wanted to be semi-rural, but we didn't feel far from the beach & shops. We especially loved going to Potts Reserve for a swim. Thank you Lisa and Jon

Chill out Bliss

4 frazzled Mamas enjoyed a 2 night stay at the peaceful paradise. We came with the intention of not needing to leave and that we did. We loved the gardens, the birdlife, the fires, the pizza oven, the games, the comfy beds. We honestly didnt want for anything. We are recgarged from our stay at your whare that had everything we could possibly need. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful, memorable weekend for our group of friends 😍
