Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view It was a good house for a family getaway, to relax and watch the view We enjoyed our stay at the property, it’s layout had a lot of steps and the drive up to the property was very steep. Luckily we had hired a four wheel drive. The kids used the pool but it was pretty cold as it didn’t have heating and the spa didn’t work. It was clean and tidy as far as properties go and the property manager was very efficient. ##### Elizabeth W. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle B. Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice place We stayed as a group of friends. We enjoyed the property however the outdoor entertaining area is not suitable for a group of 8\. I was concerned as I could not see any photos of outdoor entertaining/seating on the website. The front verandah is not wide enough to sit with table and chairs unless you sit next to each other. Anyway we made do with what we had and had a great time. The sunrise and view of an evening is stunning and we got to see 9 hot air balloons taking off one morning. The main thing was we had a great time anyway and it did not affect our stay. ##### Michelle B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Judith N.
