Holiday house
Lovely spot. However, the spa was badly damaged and potentially unsafe, the dvd didn't work, the taps leaked, there were holes in the gauze on the windows and we found dirty dishes in the cupboard. A great house in need of maintenance. The ban on washing beach towels and sheets seemed extreme given it was a beach/swimming venue.

Awesome stay
The property was very well located feels like you are in the rainforest with the beach very close.
We had everything we needed even lots of board games/toys for the kids! Very spacious and comfortable.
The only thing is that you have to bring your mosquito repellent (but hey we were in the rainforest after all) and the driveway need to be more friendly for lower car like ours. But I would definitely recommend to stay there and would come back again.

A Bush retreat
A beautiful quiet place with lots of birds and a short drive to beaches and restaurants. We needed a broom and there were quite a few holes in screens so some windows and doors needed to be kept shut. All in all a lovely place to stay.
