Jana was wonderful with communication, nothing was a problem. It is a very private location, with lovely bird song to listen to while relaxing in the outdoor baths. As for Tata Beach, its beautiful and so much fun arriving there on the electric buggy provided. You will not regret booking this place. Thanks Jana and Drew."

"We loved this property. It was private and peaceful with a lovely rural outlet and some very cute pet sheep.
