perfect oasis
our stay at laguna palms was absolutely perfect; we left restored and already planning when we could come back. the house backs onto a serene nature reserve which gave our stay the feeling of a beautiful oasis of calm. using the provided kayaks to explore the nearby lake and view the purple waterlillies exploding was a complete highlight. we loved waking in the morning looking onto the water and hearing only the relaxing sounds of nature. the house itself is perfect and lux feeling, with every detail thoughtfully chosen. the outdoor and indoor seating is fantastic for making use of all the beautiful spaces, the billiard table made great entertainment and the kitchen had everything you could need (although all the nearby food options meant we took full advantage of holiday mode and didn’t cook a thing). the beds were super comfortable with beautiful linen and lovely styling, and blackout blinds did exactly that. bathroom another hit with really great shower pressure. when we prised ourselves away from our oasis it was a quick 12 minute walk to the beach and shops/restaurants, so it was good to have a break from the car all weekend. the owner has prepared a super helpful local guide with information about the traditional origins of the area and really useful suggestions on how to make the most of your stay including bar and restaurant recommendations that were very much on point. overall i can’t say enough positive things. i would 100% recommend this air bnb (and Cabarita generally).
