A large space for family and friends of all ages. We especially loved the games and equipment available for our use. The well equipped ranch style kitchen/diner was a popular place for socialising and kids artwork activities. The balcony space was often full of family members relaxing in the sun, but there were also many other communal spaces to chill out in. We loved being only 2 minutes walk from the beach. Altogether one of the best places we have found for a large group of mixed ages. ##### Shona L.

The property is stunning and absolute luxury, you feel like you're on holiday the moment you step in, the rooms and layout are spacious and all beautifully set. The garage was a hit with all the games for kids and adults! A short stroll to the beach, and not far to the main town made this a great location with kids and adults to get out and about easily. Every item we needed to cook our own meals, entertain the kids and to relax were all at our fingertips.
