This place was so peaceful. Only a short walk through beautiful forest from the water to the house. The water was perfect for a peaceful swim. The outlook from the house was stunning. Coffee pod machine was much appreciated. The Billard table gave us much fun. Would have been nice to have stayed for much longer. The place was very clean and tidy.

Look no further! This home is the most magical accommodation we have ever experienced. Photos do not do this place justice! I think we all said 'wow' over 1000 times in the 3 days we were there. Highly recommend this property to truly experience the magic of the sounds. Thank you, Karen! :)
