Debbie
Stunning property, the views alone are a reason to come. Very well appointed kitchen, 2 lounges upstairs to relax in. Love seat to watch Liger Bay and Tata Islands Bed was super comfy. Will definitely love to come back
Naomi
John and Lynda have handcrafted a stunning home, and I loved staying here. The main home where I stayed, is spacious and beautifully furnished and kitted out. There is impressive attention to detail in every room. They have managed to make it both elegant and warmly welcoming. The property is elevated with incredible views, yet the Ligar Bay beach is just across the road from the end of the driveway. There is also plenty to walk to and explore on the property - the Narnia track, the orchard and the pond were highlights on our walk, as was the host friendliness and hospitality during our time there. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay!
Ria
This is an absolutely unique home and stunning location. A slice of heaven! It's incredibly peaceful and secluded, nestled into native bush and orchards, with magnificent views of the bays. The perfect place to relax, refresh and be healed. Lynda and John have hand crafted a beautiful home. Everything has been carefully considered, from a fully equipped kitchen with a perfectly callibrated coffee machine, to comfortable furniture, beds and linen. I especially loved the swing seat on the deck, gazing across the lagoon to the Tata islands.
