Wonderful Location!

The photos of the property don't do justice to how wonderful the actual location is. Both the days we spent there, the sunsets were absolutely divine and we were able to enjoy them while sitting on the front deck. Mal thought of everything,and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Very comfortable, and clean premises. An added bonus was the pelicans that live on the lake, opposite to the property. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Mal!

Relaxing and memorable experience

Mal's place is perfectly located at the heart of Swansea. Everything is accessible and convenient especially those must-see places at Swansea. Home is very cozy place to stay in. Best spot is staying at the living room over looking the water view! My husband and my friends really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much Mal for a great accommodation experience and very warm welcome.
