The house is comfortable and cool with a wonderful balcony overlooking the sea. It is located close to the airport but is quiet and off the main road in the foothills. The owners are delightful and Gillene has made sure it is well stocked with everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable as well. I cannot fault it! ##### Janet P.

I feel the pictures don't do the house justice. A beautiful view, with grounds, maintained to a high standard. Very comfortable and relaxing with an outdoor dining option. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of town, the large resorts, that can seem over crowded. A car or scooter would definitely help to get to and from venue, as its off the beaten track. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b426f5d0-7816-4b52-9473-8b95cec97c31-1757810050676.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ana T.

Gillene and Steve were great and helped us out on local matters. I couldnt recommend this place more for people who dont want a resort but an authentic Cook Is experience and setting. Even the chooks and the dogs became part of the furniture. we will be back hopefully. ##### Peter Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyvonne R. 12 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem Such a beautiful home, very roomy too.
