Fantastic setting and peaceful nights sleep

We were delighted to see how lovely this carriage house apartment was. Very spacious living/dining/kitchen area with gorgeous views into the avocado orchard and a cute little balcony with chairs. The master bedroom was well appointed with plenty of electrical outlets and a very comfy bed. We only discovered the smaller single bedroom at the end of our stay but it would be fine for a child or small adult. Extra luggage could always go in the lounge. The hosts were exceptionally thoughtful in the well stocked kitchen. Plenty of cooking appliances, utensils, dishes, glasses, etc, plus fresh fruit and avocados, bread, porridge, peanut butter, milk, coffee and tea. The only thing to be aware of is that the shower is extremely small and one of the triangle shaped ones, so if you are a larger person it may not be very user friendly. All in all it was the perfect place to stay for a relaxing getaway and the situation of being upstairs over the garage with a completely separate entrance made it very private as well. Highly recommended.

In the orchard

The accommodation was completely comfortable, spick and span, extremely well appointed with so many thoughtful and useful touches. We just loved the avocados provided for us. And the fact that the Wisteria was in full bloom enhanced the beauty of the surroundings. Thanks Ally!

Sparrows nest is the best!

Really enjoyed our overnight stay at the Sparrows nest. Beautiful outlook and nice quiet location. The place had everything we needed- even a pod machine for our coffee addiction 😁 Easy check in and check out. Would definitely stay there again.
