Everything as advertised and more. It was perfect.
Host was amazing in any communication during the stay, lots of room for our family and the pool room was the biggest hit. Kids had their own area, while the house was the adults pad. The 2m wide tv in the lounge was a real big hit too. So many positive things to note. Wish we stayed longer. Lots of paid apps for movies galore on the 4 TVs on the property. Nothing to fault this amazing place. 5/5.
