There are two 2-bedroom houses, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, sleeping up to 5 persons in each. Large kitchen and living room areas and one bathroom in each. All three ground floor houses can interconnect if required via an interior set of doors, for the purpose of extended families or groups. The first floor 2 bedroom house is accessed via two exterior staircases on either side of the building, both with terraces and tables and chairs.
There are washing machines, iron and boards in the laundry room, for all to use.
The houses are spacious, cool and light, with marble floors throughout. All furnishing is new and comfortable. Ceiling fans in living rooms. All windows and doors have sliding insect nets, though the lake supplies natural and effective insect repellents. Each house has private patios and terraces offering both sunny and shady areas, with dining tables and chairs and sunbeds. Child safe gates lead from each patio to the lake side. The lawn slopes down to the lakeside, wooden decking and sunbeds. A large lawn for games and a play ground and areas to play football and basketball, yoga etc.
Our wood burning stoves are very effective and no smells or smoke can escape. Fans, heaters, cots and highchairs are also supplied on request.
Apart from the natural wildlife, we have fan-tailed pigeons and peacocks that roam free and are very friendly, chickens and ducks and two cats.
Lovely setting with swimming lake.
What a beautiful, peaceful setting. Everything we needed in the apartment. Grandson particularly liked feeding the animals and the play equipment. Would definitely revisit
Tamar is a very welcoming host! We and our two children (4+6) immediately felt at home and could not stop marvelling at the the stars of the location - the beautiful peacocks, that also inhabit the property, and the clean pond (biologically self-cleaning, no chemicals, but frogs and a turtle). The view over the pond, the tall palm trees in which pretty pigeons nest... very peaceful and decelerated! The children were out and about all day and especially celebrated feeding the little pigs, ducks and chickens every day: An olive tree house, the playground next to the animals, a small court with a basketball hoop, a meadow with football goals, a TT-plate by the barbecue oven.... opportunities to play for children and seating for everyone are very well distributed around the appartments - you meet at the pond, but there are many retreats. The flat was clean and well laid out, we could cook inside, barbecue in front of the house or eat behind the house by the pond. The beach is easy to get to, it was still a bit too far for our children, but there was always a parking space at the front of the bridge to the tiny railway, which then goes to the beach. We like to come back - and the little one also wants to learn to swim in the beautiful pond now :)
