Wonderful large house and gardens for our family gathering. The hot tub was a bonus. Communication with the hosts Chrissie and Tyson was excellent. I can fully recommend this property.

Absolutely stunning views, beautiful location, exceptionally clean, well equipped. Games room a big hit. Gorgeous hot tub area. Very accommodating hosts. The house is huge and spacious, there were 9 adults and our little dog in our party and we most certainly felt like we had our own space. Ample car parking spaces. We would definitely love to visit again.

Chrissie and Tyson were amazing hosts, they came when we arrived and showed us everything and advised we could ring if we had any other questions.The house is huge and well equipped. The hot tub was a bonus too.Our family (8 adults and 3 children and an infant) had a amazing time, and there is enough room not to feel you are on top of each other. The kids loved the games room.Bed are so comfortable.We will definitely go back.
