“No one thing can express why this place is so special. it is the whole package. The warmth, hospitality, ease and humour of the hosts primarily. The food, the tranquility, the feeling of being in nature, the attention to detail throughout the property. It is just perfect. A dream where the only down side is waking up and having to leave.” - Richi
