Amazing location with views in every direction. Modern home with everything you need. Lovely shower room and separate toilet.
Enjoyed sitting on balcony, bbq dinner and watching the amazing night sky whilst listening to Kia and a kiwi.
We drove down to town as it was a bit steep but worth driving around the area as it’s beautiful.
Definitely recommend
