"We found this property spacious, comfortable and clean and tidy. The elevated sea view was lovely. The communication to book the property was excellent. It’s close to town and cafes and although not around Muri side of the island only a short travel and we enjoyed the privacy and ocean front right there without the crowds!! Perfect relaxing at this property."
