‘A generous slice of heaven’ is how I can best describe Omaio.
Liz made our little party of three feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.
A gorgeous, well thought out property with wonderful attention to detail, coupled with stunning, expansive gardens, bursting with native bird life. The log house is surrounded by flourishing flora which reaches right down to the water. I’m a gardening novice, but was mesmerised by the surroundings .... I guess it doesn’t take an expert to see beauty, right?
The accommodation is at one end of a beautiful log house - which gives you all the privacy you need, but Liz opens up the entire garden and her outdoor living area for your use and enjoyment as well.
Our bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and separate deck were lovely - all the right ingredients for a relaxing enjoyable stay and very comfortable nights sleep.
Quick note: it’s worth having insect repellent with you, if you’re planning on sitting outside from dusk onwards.
I’m sad to say we only had one night there - but in order to soak in the surroundings we opted to cook a bbq, of which Liz provided a fantastic Weber for us to cook on... as well as all the crockery, utensils and condiments we needed. Liz let us know ‘I’m here and please, if you need anything, do ask’, which gave us great peace of mind.
My daughter (aged 4) was thrilled to find a playhouse and a swing and we all loved exploring the gardens and walkways, just stunning.
You’re able to access the sea from the property, but if you prefer being able to drive right up to the beach, it’s 3-4 minutes to Buckleton’s beach - which is a great little bay with calm water, perfect for all to swim at.
I’ll definitely be back (if Liz will have me) to admire this wonderful place that Liz and her family have built up over the years and will remain very grateful that Liz actually opens up her home for so many to enjoy.
‘Thanks for having us Liz’
