Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A magical Christmas break! We spent 7 nights at Moana Cove and felt like we had been transported to a far away island, except it was just a hop, skip and a jump away! We loved walking through the bush to beaches, kayaking through the mangroves, walking through Mansion House, visiting the boat club for a meal is a must! And lazy sunny afternoons reading and watching the tide go in and out. Sharon and Rob were great hosts, giving us privacy but always incredibly helpful if we needed anything. Hope to be back! ##### Keryn H. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W. Jan 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### David W.
