Our family had a lovely stay at this holiday house. It is spacious and comfortably accommodated seven adults, with plenty of room for everyone. The pool was clean and well maintained, and there were lots of games available, which we really enjoyed.The location is excellent — perfect for morning coffee, scenic walks, and visits to nearby wineries.The only downside was that some of the owners’ personal belongings were left in bedside drawers, bathroom drawers, and the fridge, which felt a little off-putting.Overall, it was a great experience and we would happily recommend this property.
