Home truths

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. However, cars are not allowed on the grounds at the property - you must park in a designated area and each guest can drive in with a golf cart to unload their luggage.

    While the second bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    The pool is open from 1 May to 31 October. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
