Wow! From the minute we walked in the door of this house we were blown away by the elegance and style. Everywhere we turned there were interesting finishes, beautiful fixtures, top of the range fittings and pure comfort. We headed to the beach for a little winter getaway and thoroughly enjoyed all the area had to offer. We spent the days exploring the many tourist attractions on offer from the hot springs to the wineries, gondolas to golf and some lovely beach walks. Each evening we looked forward to coming back to the house, lighting the beautiful open fire (that was left stacked ready to go), relaxing on the super comfy lounge and enjoying hanging out and preparing dinner in the large open fully equipped kitchen (this was my favourite area). Special mention also has to go to the luxurious bedding, crisp linen sheets, hotel quality pillows and throws - it truly was a delight to hop into bed! This time we headed away with out two teenagers - for them the highlight was having their own space downstairs and a full size pool table, next time we’ll take another family - there was plenty of room. Thanks Mandy, a fabulous host.
