Beautiful views, great little apartment. Fabulous cinema room. We really enjoyed our stay. Could do with some large kitchen knives and also the lounge in the cinema had a bit of a funky smell.

Scotts Head gem
Great property, great location. However, the little details need attention. The WiFi details didn’t work and there was no physical modem in our part of the property. We spoke with 3 different operatives who said they would contact the owners and come back to us. The first operative did send a text saying they were still trying to contact the owner. We are still waiting a response and have now completed our stay. Unfortunately the front yard was also fouled with dog mess.
