    Absolutely stunning spot, with everything we needed and more. Beautiful view, bird life to watch, peaceful, beautifully fitted out. Having the car to tootle around in was a total bonus. Highly recommend!

    Car availabilty and spa both valuable. The outdoor stairs a little disconcerting at night and upon arrival, however the climb was worth it. Cottage beautifully clean and very well maintained. Thank you.

    Property is an ideal location away from the main activity on the Island but close enough to enjoy everything the island has to offer. Great place, wonderful views, quiet and peaceful with all the amenities. The advantage of having a car in with the property is significant enabling you to get out and about without relying on taxis or buses - gives you the freedom to enjoy the island.

    This is a great house with an awesome deck and hot tub. It is a completely stand alone house in the forest. The house is located on the hill overlooking the bay at 110M elevation. A couple things to keep in mind when you rent this property. 1-The car parking spot is fifty stair steps below the house. 2-The parking spot leaves the car 1/4 into the road so something to consider if you are brining your own car. There is no space for a second car.The car that comes with the house is a true “Island Car” but runs well.

    Lovely holiday and the car was a fantastic asset. House beautiful and location and views amazing. One thing i would say prior to arriving we did not know there would be 50 plus steps to the property. Carrying suitcases etc was hard work. Saying that i would use again.
