Furnished 1 bedroom apartment
We had a excellent stay at Jessie's place. It was very clean, comfortable and family friendly place. The place had all necessary items stocked and very convenient. Would gladly choose to stay in future.

Cozy family container farm stay [2 adults, 2 kids]
We had a truly lovely stay! The container home is not only aesthetically beautiful but also thoughtfully designed and functional. The outdoor space is perfect for sitting back and unwinding, surrounded by nature. The resident cows and friendly dogs added so much charm to the experience—they’re absolutely adorable and full of love. Sammy and Charlotte are wonderful hosts. It was a pleasure chatting with them about the farm, sustainable living, and their inspiring vision for the place. We also visited a nearby lake, which is incredibly serene and picturesque—highly recommend it if you're staying here! (Please be mindful and don’t litter; places like this are rare and worth preserving.) Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful weekend getaway.

Venus Villa
We had a truly exceptional 4-week stay at this property. All initial hiccups upon arrival were quickly resolved by Siva promptly and he made sure everything was in order by doing regular follow ups. The house was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable making it perfect for a longer stay. Siva was a great host! Very helpful, courteous, and always quick to respond. The location was another highlight, with plenty to do in the area and Phoenix Mall just an easy 8-minute drive away. I would happily recommend this place and would be glad to stay here again in the future. Thank you for all your help and support Siva!
