Secluded retreat with outdoor bath

FernandaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Amazing place! Stuart was very friendly and in constant communication, ensuring everything was okay with the place. The cabin is beautiful, peaceful and secluded. Be mindful in winter to bring a good jacket with you, as the kitchen area is exposed, but the fireplace helps reduce the cold and makes it a good experience. The room is super cozy and warm, plus the fan heater helps a lot to keep you warm. Overall, great experience, perfect getaway for couples. I highly recommend it! Thank you, Stuart, for everything! :)

Cosy Raglan bach

AmyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay at Janetta’s bach. The house was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. It's in a quiet location yet still close to town, cafes, and surf beaches. Highlights included the large, sunny front deck, cozy beds, well stocked kitchen with all the gadgets that you need. The place felt like a home away from home. Janetta was a great host, and we’d happily stay again. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful sea view spot for my sisters and me to gather! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the location.
