We had a great time - your house is absolutely lovely, beautifully furnished, well equipped, and very comfortable . The grounds were super, and the pool first rate. All in all, it was really great place to spend a week, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and would certainly recommend to others.

So what did we love....pretty much everything!
- the views, the solitude and the magnificent sunsets
- the way in which the house is laid out, the rustic yet comfortable feel, the way it's cool inside without air conditioning
- the quantity and quality of the furniture, including outside, is excellent and gave us lots of places to relax
- the beds are extremely comfortable and the mosquito nets give an exotic but practical touch
- the kitchen is very well equipped and it's really useful that remnants from earlier visitors are kept so that we didn't have to buy everything
- your eclectic and excellent stock of books kept us all occupied once we'd read the ones we brought
- the house feels like a real home with all the pictures and trinkets
- it was good to find drawers like ours with all the useful bits and pieces that are sometimes needed
- the board games
- the folders with info on the locality and the map were great and made it much easier to work out what to do and where to go
- outside the big garden, plant pots and pool are very well maintained
- as a poor swimmer I appreciated the large shallow end, easy step access, ledge around the deep end and non-slip bottom
- the wildlife was fascinating
- Tricia (your greeter) was very friendly and helpful .....as were the maid, pool man and gardener
