Altitude 261 - its scenery and solitude is beautiful, beyond imagination... It's hard to find words which describe the pure beauty of Rod's paradise. Look at the photos and you get an idea - nowadays it really rarely happened that the reality is even better than a good photo can suggest. However this actually happened when we made our way on the windy road up to 'Mountains meet sea'. The house itself is a real treasure - it provides everything you need (and more) to feel at home. The rooms are furnished in style with lots of space and virtually as flooded with light as the sun deck. The bright house impresses with high-end fittings and sophisticated living. As much as we love the house (and myself the selection of books!), the most precious thing about Altitude 261 is the location itself. The views are stunning, breathtaking, so that we canceled all our plans to explore the neighborhood and spend as much time as we could at the deck - the experience of this place is one of awe. Rod is the perfect host - he cares about his guests as much as he cares for nature. We could not have wished for more. This very special place is highly recommend to everyone who appreciate an unique location in an unique environment. We will come back to inhale a bit more of this special Altitude - the prospect of return is the only thing which made it a bit easier to leave. Many, many thanks to Rod for sharing such an incredibly gorgeous home. You made us forget the urban jungle and let us dive into the great outdoors.
