Roomy cottage with great kitchen

Five adult members of our family stayed at this cottage while another seven stayed elsewhere. We all gathered at this cottage for our evening meals because of the spacious gathering area and well-stocked kitchen. We would stay here again. The cottage is well located in Onekema in a quiet setting.
