Guest Reviews

“Fabulous place to stay the weekend with a great bunch of friends. The view was absolutely stunning, overlooking the ocean and coastline from the cliff top. The house was fully equipped to a very high standard and was immaculate. The grounds were equally kept to a very high standard with some very cool walks you could do from the house. Thanks very much, loved loved loved it.”
