“Wonderful stay - with a small baby!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

We had a wonderful stay in the Jacaranda Cottage with our little baby - its not easy being away from home with a little one but the feel of the establishment is so cosy and feels like a home away from home! Thanks to Pam and the team. The Ras family

“When "Home away from home" is not a cliché...”

I stayed in Appartment 3 last month and have been missing it since. The place is like a huge and airy loft; all you hear is the small stream that runs in the garden below.
