Staying in this Magnificent property was like stepping straight into the pages of a fairy-tale! The architecture and furnishings were beautiful! We loved the Opulent king master bed and spa and our kids just loved the peacock room.. Spotlessly clean, complimentary chockies and champagne added a great touch.. The grounds were beautiful and we even spotted rosellas and king parrots in the trees! Highly recommend the hosts and the property!
Stayed with another 2 couples and LOVED the property! Unique and very Tranquil.. There is no place like this ! King Bedroom and Spa was unbelievable with its "Cloud chandelier" Will stay again.
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022
