Azmina is the most gracious hostess! When my family arrived at her home, she had snacks (bread, cheese, treats for our girls) waiting for us, which was a very pleasant surprise. Her home is amazing! It's well laid out and has everything that you can possibly need for your stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, with cupboards full of spices and oils and every kind of kitchen utensil and gadget imaginable. We were able to settle in right away and make ourselves at home. There were fresh flowers in nearly every room. But the real gem of this house is right out the back doors. The decks overlook the mountains and have the most incredible view of the Pacific. There are many cozy places to sit, and a pool that my kids spent the entire week in. Gelson's is about 15 minutes away, to load up on groceries, and the drive up to the house is stunning. It's quiet and relaxing and exactly the peaceful retreat that we were looking for. We will absolutely be booking again at the Buddha House.
