A beautiful place to stay, great view and nicely furnished.

My partner and I stayed at this lovely holiday home for 3 nights after Christmas 2021. For us the location was perfect- a 5 min stroll to long sandy beaches (a car is provided for running down the hill to beach/ estuary, but we didn’t need it) and safe swimming spots, returning to 180 degree views from lounge/ kitchen, balconies and master bedroom. The home has everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable stay. We tiki toured around the island during our stay and both agreed we had found the best spot to stay. We’ll be back and would bring family with us as home could easily accommodate more guests without being on top of each other

Great location, amazing property. All the modern conveniences in an off-grid island. Fantastic.

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 nights in this beautiful property. It was exactly as described, the unit was very well stocked and the view was amazing. A perfect getaway and a base to explore the island. Thank you!
My only recommendation would be that having a high chair available would be helpful for families.
