Alexander's house is just stunning as a peaceful place to relax and unwind. There's enough phone service to maintain contact with the world, but it's removed enough that you can be at ease.
We stayed at the house during a period of sustained heavy rain and it was absolutely beautiful to lie in the hammock and watch wallabies (with joeys in their pouches!) nibbling at the grass, to hear the multitude of frogs and the barking of the little geckos.
There's a gorgeous view from every room, and for those staying with kids, there's a great selection of DVDs. The kitchen is wonderful with plenty of bench space and a big 6 burner cooktop.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it very difficult to leave!
