The location, the beautiful house with the open plan layout, the well equipped kitchen, the hot tub, the garden, the en suites with every bedroom and the overall decor. It worked very well for our family celebration.

So much space and facilities. Lots of things to do and amazing for the kids too. Everything that you need for your stay is there, you only need to bring clothes !! The views all around the home were amazing and so much seating areas to enjoy them.
