We loved everything about the house. We had a wonderful stay, the facilities were great and the boys loved the pool and tennis court. It was so quiet and beautiful.

Heidi Australia

Peace and quiet. Hosts very relaxed when asked questioned. The veranda was huge which helped with a large group when it rained. Hand feeding the birds was great fun, especially for the little ones with us.
