Family Friendly
My partner and 2 of our children stayed over this weekend as a get away. We all loved the relaxed atmosphere and layout of the property with the "Kids" (20 and 17) taking up camp in the Theatre Room both nights before heading back to their rooms for the night. Allowing my partner and I time alone. The family area also allowed us all to come together for meals or to build our Lego sets or play games well into the night. The dock made the perfect setting for that first cuppa and peace before starting the day of exploring the local area. We are now planning a full family trip with My Partner, Myself, our 3 adult children and my Inlaws. More than enough room for everyone to come back together or have their own space in their own room. The couch converting into a bed in the theatre room is a definite bonus.

On the Marina, boat, kayaks, fishing
An excellent property on the waterfront, with supplied kayaks (with safety gear), fishing rods, private mooring wharf. Well supplied kitchen (lots of plates, glasses etc). Good theatre room for relaxing after a day on the water.

Delightful house
We were delighted with the house. Everything we needed was provided even quite a few pantry items. The outlook onto the water was lovely and watching the boats sail by was delightful. Although we didn't use the kayaks the house is well equipped for a family with children to have fun on the water. The private jetty is great to fish from too. Mishael has provided a house for a great relaxing holiday experience. Highly recommended .

House and situation were very good. Lounges a bit low for people our age. It was disappointing to see that the rubbish bin had been filled by the neighbours. It was empty when we arrived. You may receive a notice saying it was excessively heavy, but not from us.

An amazing holiday home
Our family loved this large family home. We booked for a family wedding on the island. Perfect location the views of the water perfection! Property spotlessly clean, had so many little things needed in the pantry or fridge. I give this home more than 5 stars & we will return another time for a mini holiday. Bonus having kayaks & all sizes safety vests for our grandchildren. Thankyou so much for sharing your gorgeous holiday home😚
