Twelve Senses Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I were here for two nights and loved our stay. We stayed in the air room which feels light and private. We loved the breakfasts and getting to use the sauna and hot tub which are clean and easy to use. Vincent and Jade were kind and hospitable and we can’t wait to return and to share this place with our friends and family."
