Honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Beautiful location, lovely staff, comfortable bed, and clean and homely accomodation. Every single detail was thought through. The kind of place you’d never want to leave!!!! It’s hard to find places as good as this these days, we were stoked with everything in our stay, not one complaint.

Fantastic home, with everything we needed! This property is only a minute out of town and we really enjoyed the quiet. It was very clean and modern.
