We loved staying here. The house is comfortable and cool with a wonderful balcony overlooking the sea. It is located close to the airport but is quiet and off the main road in the foothills. The owners are delightful and Gillene has made sure it is well stocked with everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable as well. I cannot fault it!
This home was very spacious. I feel the pictures don't do the house justice. A beautiful view, with grounds, maintained to a high standard. Very comfortable and relaxing with an outdoor dining option. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of town, the large resorts, that can seem over crowded. A car or scooter would definitely help to get to and from venue, as its off the beaten track.

We were blown away by this rennovated house - they have done a great job and for a family of 5 adults we just loved it. Gillene and Steve were great and helped us out on local matters. I couldnt recommend this place more for people who dont want a resort but an authentic Cook Is experience and setting. Even the chooks and the dogs became part of the furniture. we will be back hopefully.
Such a beautiful home, very roomy too.
Located up in the hills over looking a priceless view. Very open and airy, easy to clean, modern, has all the comforts of home and more. Great owners and service. Will definitely stay here again 10 stars ⭐️
