    Nothing I didn't like but maybe some movies available to watch on a hard drive to watch on the TV or a DVD library would be great.

    Loved the beautiful breakfast, the pool, Wi-Fi, big shower and separate kitchen, close to the beach, Rob & Anna organized a taxi from the airport for us & we were are able to use a cell phone to make local calls. Rob chatted to the guests to see if there was nothing we needed. There were kayaks & bikes available to use but we ran out of time to use those unfortunately.

    Was an awesome place, we were lucky enough to get the room with the outdoor shower too. That was amazingly done and nice and private . New bathrooms are awesome. We would’ve loved an aircon unit and that’s the only comment we can make that isn’t all positive but there is ceiling fans. Hospitality was great. Pool was lovely. Rooms were massive and spotlessly cleaned. A homemade bread and breakfast trifles in the fridge for us waiting. A little bummer the beach opposite is a rocky one but that’s out of anyone’s control and wasn’t far to a nice area so wasn’t a problem. The grounds were kept beautiful. We’ve raved about it to everyone since being home

    This is only a minor issue. Carparking is tight for bigger vehicles and so be better to hire a smaller car or motorcycle.

    There is a lot to like at the property. The hosts Anna/Rob are very welcoming and showed us to our unit and explained where everything is, from filling up your water bottle for drinking to the laundry room and designated areas for smokers as well to the recycling bins. BBQ and pizza area to use and relaxing is so spacious and good for families. Unit so spacious. Super king-size bed is so comfortable. Smart tv with my favorite tv apps was awesome. The bathroom is absolutely dreamy and spacious and clean. Breakfast provided by the host for the 1 day until you get your own supplies at wigmores as it is only 2 mins away on a car or motorcycle is great. The swimming pool 100% is what is required to cool off after a day out in the heat or whenever you like to swim. Beaches nearby, absolutely 💯. Luscious gardens are also so beautiful around the the units provides privacy, too.
