I can't review the stay properly. It was double booked!! From the outside it looked great! But we didn't get to stay

We are still unable to ascertain how this unfortunate mix-up occurred, and we apologise again, but Sascha, please don't forget you are invited to come again - half price. Mark

A beautiful cottage set in tranquil gardens. Lots of places for hide and seek! Great pool!
Mark and Kenton were very accommodating to our group. Excellent communication. Very comfortable property close to everything, yet far enough for some peace and quiet. Highly recommended!

Peaceful retreat just out of town
Gorgeous gardens even during winter - our two young boys loved exploring and the grass area near the pond was perfect for soccer. Close by to Yankalilla and with the picturesque Second Valley nearby. Great for a relaxing weekend to unwind in peace and tranquillity. Mark responded quickly to any enquiries we had and made sure our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend for couples or family with up to two children.

Gorgeous accomodation and gardens
The owner said think of it as ‘Tuscany in the Gums ‘ the garden cottage certainly lived upto this. What a serene sanctuary this is - we felt like we had our own extensive private gardens stroll around and admire the different views. The beds were comfy and pool an added bonus. Glenis, Kenton and Mark all very friendly and helpful .

Urlaub im Paradies
Wir waren für eine Woche Gäste bei Mark und Wendy. Perfekter geht es nicht. Man kommt an in einem traumhaften Garten, wird auf das herzlichste begrüßt und übernachtet in einem liebevoll eingerichtetem Haus inmitten dieses kleinen Paradieses. Mark und Wendy waren so herzliche Gastgeber, dass wir uns nur wohlfühlen konnten und schon auch mit einem tränenden Auge wieder abfuhren. Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Zeit.
