Our stay at this place was simply amazing. The house was quite spacious and all the amenities made for a comfortable stay. It's proximity to all the popular spots ensured us the best time ever. The games kept the kids occupied after a tiring day spent sight seeing. Would definitely choose the same place if we plan another trip here and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in holidaying here.
Lovely and cleanDishwasher needs some attention Both upstairs beds squeaked every time you moved in the bed.Shared driveway with a trailer was challenging with neighbours next door.Overall beautiful property
