Allm information was accurate and the view was magnificent. We had luck with stuff left behind and we also left usable stuff behind. Maybe one tip is how to deal with the rubbish more clear. We went for a yellow bag to the shop like mentioned in the instructions but the shop said to use the container.

Family getaway

Weekend away for 3 generations of family. Beautiful spot. The house was homely, warm and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The view is amazing and I could’ve sat on the deck and taken the surroundings in for hours. Easy communication with the hosts. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise, would love to stay again in the future.
