True Oasis! Top accomodation

Excellent, Unique accomodation - with private and quiet cabins, which accommodates for larger groups to still split off from one another. Modern and cosy. Would stay here again & highly recommend to others. Communication with property manager was easy and timely. 10/10 accommodation!

Birthday

I choose the property for the reason that it looked different and separate "buildings) Not the usual. It was great in many ways, however because of the hot weather it was quite hot. Trying not to get mosquitos you could not really open the windows when the lights are on.The kitchen building was good to air. There was also a nice outdoor undercover area with a big table , wooden bench and barbecue plus a drink fridge. The main building had zircon, just as well, because there are no windows. It also has a fire pit, where you could burn some wood and eat marschmallows.

Great setup outside with bar and bbq. Great with separate areas. Queen beds not that comfortable.

Would recommend renting. Great setup, especially with teenagers cause they have their own area and you can see them from the deck. Was a bit hit at times, brought a fan. Main bed too soft and was uncomfortable.

great option for couples gathering

Great location and instructions were excellent for arrival. Loved that we had 3 separate rooms for the 3 couples and the shared outdoor kitchen and gathering place was perfect! Great way to experience tiny house living. Only small thing was no toilet paper in any of the three unit - had to go buy some for each - minor detail really !

Great location

Best during the warmer months when everyone can socialise together outside. Cleaning detail could be better and one bed was missing linen. Also would prefer pantry and freezer closer to empty to fit our food shop. Gavin was a friendly and helpful host.
