The owners were extremely helpful, caring and concerned about making our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They went above and beyond. They picked us up and returned us to the airport at our convenience and even offered to drive us to a restaurant for dinner. They work very hard and have a lovely yard to relax in. There are nice walking tracks very close to their accomodations which we enjoyed as well. We would highly recommend a stay with them. Wish we had more time to spend there but we were at the end of our trip.
