This is a very special place to stay. Tucked away in the Topanga canyon, it is a real getaway. The house has everything you could want and is beautifully (and uniquely) furnished. The garden is sensational, especially in the evening with the lights on. Topanga is convenient for exploring the whole coastal area but I'd really recommend an evening at the amazing local Theatricum Botanicum too. Topanga is a cool town with a chilled, relaxed style. Darrell was a great host: he showed us round and was terrific with email communication but also gave us space to enjoy this wonderful place. We were genuinely sad to leave and say goodbye to the peaceful beauty and unique atmosphere.
