    Amazing and very very peaceful will be back!

    How peaceful it is and how beautiful it is

    Only downside is the curtains, only over the front door

    Gorgeous boutique accomodation in serene setting.

    Cute little guys, a bit tight with our dogs too but could use the deck chairs to block the stairs and let the dogs out on the deck for a bit more room. Super cute accomodation with lovely features like the communal fire pit and sauna (didn’t know about it until we got there so didn’t use it).

    Didn’t get the welcome email it said to check by or instructions checking in. Hadn’t realised we had to walk to the huts which was a bit tricky but otherwise lovely setting. Also hadn’t known what to do about milk as didn’t get the welcome email but figured out it was in the communal area with some basic condiments like bread, jams and butter. The milk was fresh full cream though (yum!!)

    So serene! Will definitely return and stay longer next time.

    The property landscape is incredible, beautiful and so well thought out. The rooms are so simplistic yet so beautiful with thoughtful little touches and the comfiest beds. The facilities are amazing, love the sauna and the showers. The name held up, we saw lots of rabbits roaming in the grassy fields just outside the cabin.

    Great escape for a night.

    Unique experience and an escape for some peace and quiet. Close to beach. Cool concept overall and I'd definitely visit again!

    No blinds over windows so light flooded the room too early!
