First and foremost Donna is an amazingly thoughtful host; outstanding communication. We could not have asked for a better first stop on our holiday. The house was very clean, stocked with essentials, and comfortable. The environment was peaceful with a lot of bird life right outside the windows on this wonderful property. Great access to outdoor activities, whether it be beaches or forest. Good restaurants and food market nearby. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a brilliant time at Palm Haven. Situated in a rural spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cottage was spotless, warm and very cosy, and had anything and everything you could ask for in a home away from home. Donna was excellent with communication and directions on how to get to the cottage and was very accommodating. We feel Donna went above and beyond for us in what was a very difficult time for her.Thank you Donna. We will definitely be back!
