However, we did notice some areas for improvement, such as a bit of dust and grime, dishes that could have been cleaned better, and a BBQ that needed more attention. We also had some trouble with the Wi-Fi password provided. That said, we appreciated being allowed a late check-out, which was a kind gesture. With a little more focus on cleanliness and small details, this place has great potential! ##### Aleisha M.

We really enjoyed the artistry and creativity of the bach, with regards colour scheme and design. Had most of the amenities we needed. One criticism : in summer it gets far to hot to be comfortable, especially in the bedroom. At least TWO large.desktop fans are needed. Other than that we would highly recommend this property.
