haven to behold on arrival. Exuding a warm peaceful atmosphere. The luxurious
couch and cushions and comfortable outdoor furniture.(ps there’s a
pull out table on each sunlounge-just right for cocktails). Enticed many
a lazy hour soaking up the glorious view. Thank you Fiona and Rob- I will
certainly be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this slice of paradise. The sun shined each
day and it was truly a relaxing and peaceful summer break. Highlights included
a spa on the morning of Jan 01,2006 and fresh snapper cooked on the BBQ which
we ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will definitely be back and will
recommend this place to all our friends and family. Thanks Fiona and Rob- you
were wonderful hosts and an extra big thanks for looking after our Kitty, Mr
Tinkles,(at Kitty Club Med) who we are sure is also eager to return!
