This is a review for Shelli-Anne and Gavin, who rented me the guest house on Perlita for just shy of 3 months - and I certainly landed on my feet. What great, friendly, discreet and helpful hosts they are.

I chowed down at the family table on more than one occasion. I was shown the neighborhood. If anything broke it was fixed within an hour. The house is private, bright, secure and clean, and the neighborhood a real gem.

It's not glass and chrome and cantilevered over a valley like some people seem to enjoy. It doesn't have a leopard skin rug and an infinity pool, but if you like a friendly home-from-home, this is the spot.
