    No wifi would be the only thing that could be improved but you are here to get away from the world so not a biggie.

    It is a personal preference, but we found the beds a bit uncomfortable - I would stay again despite them, however my husband says he couldn't on account of the beds.

    Very responsive host - replaced bed pillows for us with brand new ones. Beautiful garden and view of mountains. Comfortable, well equipped house. Great bathrooms. Very handy location.

    The road was a bit bumpy and when it rained there were big puddles but we worked around it.

    The layout was perfect for the group and exactly as shown online. Loved the big open deck on both sides with a swing. Milo and Bob were a beautiful addition too, kitchen had all the amenities you could need. The food across the road at Au Tree was amazing too! Lots of parking space.

    Well, position for privacy and location. Beautiful air flow with lovely open planned living. The accommodation had all the pleasantries of being away from home with a fully equipped kitchen, bbq, and cleaning products. Make sure you read the instructions they were gold.

    Nothing. Everything was great.

    A beautiful, comfortable, spacious holiday home. All the amenities you could want, super airy and cool with bifold doors that opened up on both sides, allowing a wonderful breeze. The outdoor shower was great for coming back from the beach/snorkelling.

    If I had to point out a thing, perhaps a pool would have completed the experience,but honestly we were very happy with the facilities

    We loved this place. The villa is really comfy and has everything you need. The kitchen is really well equipped and the added bonus of a BBQ allowed us to stay in for meals. The villa is spacious and the 4 of us had more than enough space. The setting is awesome, being close to the beach and a local shop but far enough away that you feel the privacy and peace of the countryside. Also the local cats came around and that made our stay even more like home.

    Perfect house for a holiday with our 18months old daughter. Great layout & location with a huge lawn & amazing backdrop to the tropical hills. Quick stroll to the beach.

    Nothing we even loved the roosters

    The house was EVERYTHING!! Well thought out, the open plan layout was perfect for the heat. It accommodated our needs and definitely exceeded all our expectations. A home away from home. The mountains are amazing to take a moment to gaze at while the clouds moved thru them (we were mesmerised) and the beach was quite literally down the driveway and across the road. We passed thru Go Local turtle exploration to get to the beach, they are a warm and friendly bunch and would often ask how our stay was going if they weren't preparing to take people turtle watching. Also about 1.5km away is Wigmores convenience store opened 24 hours.

    We loved absolutely everything about this property! Every morning we would open the blinds to the most magical view! Being able to see the mountains in the distance as the sun rose was just so spectacular it made every day extra special for us. This home has everything you will ever need from towels to beach towels, mosquito coils and appliances. The home also comes with a dvd player and assorted DVDs & some toys for the children to play with which was absolute perfection for us. We had such a wonderful time and made the most amazing memories we will cherish for life. We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a luxurious place. Thank you so much Tania for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home 💕😁

    We took three swings at finding the drive. The instructions were good but there is a huge sign opposite that would lend itself to a landmark. Had we turned up at night I think it would have been hard to find

    The house was epic! From the view to the thought that has gone into the setup. We loved every bit and was exceptional to wake up looking at the mountains

    Aircon would have increased the comfort level. It was fine if we were home & could have everything open, but would get very hot if we had it all closed up. Not too bad for us, but may have helped our toddler sleep a little better.

    Loved the big covered veranda so we could have the house open even when raining
