Beautiful accommodation and grounds highly recommend 👌
Kathy Grover
Very relaxing, comfortable place to stay with good facilities. Located on hillside with good views out towards Medlands Beach.
SARAH GARDNER
Such a wonderful elevated house. Beautiful views of Medlands – we walked to the beach each day which I loved. The house had everything we needed, amazing outdoor spaces to follow the sun through the day, and a fire at night. We will definitely stay here again.
