Positive: The location and setting were amazing. It is set inside a stunning rainforest and is very private. It’s also just a short walk from the beach and a short drive from a few restaurants and plenty of attractions. The house itself is a beautiful architectural home constructed of tree poles. There is so much glass which makes the view from inside amazing at all times of day. There were a bunch of different places to sit outdoors and just relax. A balcony upstairs, some Adirondack chairs by a chimnea on some nice paving, a large dining table on the deck, and also some chairs and a table on the other side of the house. Inside there was a a full size pool table, and plenty of games and other stuff to enjoy. The grounds were incredibly beautiful with heaps of space of beautiful grass clearings. The swimming pool was wonderful to cool off in and gets enough sun but is also shaded by the luscious native gardens and surrounding rainforest. The pantry was stocked with cooking essentials and the bathroom with shampoo/conditioner and body wash. We had some visits from a couple of bandicoots and flying foxes which were super cute. Greg and Karen who host and manage the property were very friendly and accomodating and an absolute pleasure to communicate with. They were also able to provide some great local recommendations.

Negative: Nothing!

Summary: What an amazing home in the perfect location. I can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you Greg and Karen.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: space, comfort, wide verandah. We had 4 teenage/young adult kids. They all enjoyed their own room/space. it was a bit of a spoil to have all 6 of us in such a comfortable home. The pool table at the property was the deciding factor in booking this place. It rained for 7 days straight so we really appreciated the pool table and wide verandah so we could still enjoy the outdoors and BBQ. The swimming pool was great too.

Negative: nothing

Summary: Relaxing, private, spacious house, very comfortable.
