8/10 Good
"Wonderful stay and fantastic for our family group of 10. We loved the pool and the outdoor area and the location. We also loved watching the plans arrive and depart. House was lovely however some fittings need attention ie tap in ensuite, some mattresses upstairs may need updating and some amenities listed were not available ie beach towels and hair dryer. We all loved the house and had a great time."

"The property was well presented. The property managers (Rochele & Leo) were very friendly, helpful and accessible, especially when they visited and waited with me in emergency and drove me back home. Air conditioning was good. I expected the villa to face the waters as shown. Also, not easily accessible to local transport. Overall lovely place!"
