Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Luxury and privacy in the bush overlooking the ocean This place was the perfect for our weekend getaway - so organized and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly want or need is provided here - heated plunge pool, outdoor lounge, huge BBQ, swinging hammock chairs, double showers, coffee machine, welcome hamper, and there’s even an honesty bar. Every item is top quality - Aesop products, magnificent bed linen, Zip tap with sparkling water. Plenty of beautiful cosy sitting areas inside to enjoy the stunning views and only 5 mins walk (downhill) to cafes and IGA on the bay. Plenty of thoughtful touches and additions provided. Looking forward to returning ##### jasmin v.
