What a view. Amazing. The room was a good size and clean. Bbq was not working but a call had them working the next day. Pool is nice but smaller than the photos show. Would stay again. It was a shock to drive up a dirt road and see water tank and radio towers and we thought the GPS was playing up. But then we turned into the property.

We loved this place so much we decided to stay another 2 nights Originally we had a share kitchen experience The views are spectacular & our room was perfect! Sadly it was booked for the next 2 nights so we luckily got an apartment on the same property. It’s self contained & seperate from the other rooms Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Atherton

Great little find. The view was amazing. Large enough to fit our family of 5. Rooms could use a little update, but we were outside for most of our trip so were happy. Beautiful spot to watch the sunset and enjoy a glass of wine. Will definitely be back.
