Such a lovely property. The host was welcoming, kind and thoughtful. The photos match what was there. The beds and bathroom were all well made up and clean. It was lovely to share a lounge, kitchen and veranda with other guests and have a nice community feel. We had everything we needed plus more, and felt nicely welcomed that we would have felt we could ask if there was anything else we did need.
