Spacious & Sunny Apartment on Leisure Island
We absolutely loved our stay at Sasha's place. The place was just like the photos (possibly better) and we felt right at home immediately. The space was very clean, well put together and had all the amenities we required (and more). Sasha was also a very welcoming and attentative host. We would certainly recommend this space.

Garden Flat - Floods from Heaven
I had such an amazing stay. I needed a place at a moment's notice. Desiree went out of her way and allowed me to check in early. Even though she wasn't there to receive me she had made all the arrangements to have the unit ready for me. She asked her son-in-law to bring me coffee and rusks. I enjoyed the most beautiful sun sets. It was so quiet and extremely safe. Desiree is such an amazing host and a lovely person. Thank you, Desiree. I will be visiting again hopefully soon.

We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Nature Retreat for 2 @ Phantom Cottage
We had a lovely stay at this home. The place is really beautifully decorated and a very good size for 2 people. The only downfall was the aircon not working but that will apparently be fixed soon and the weather is fortunately cooling down. We would definitely love to be back in future - perfect place for us.
