Communication with host was great. Location is beautiful with olive trees, dam area and deck overlooking them. House was large, plenty of room for all of us. We loved the open fire, and open plan living area.
Fabulous accomodation with plenty of room for extended family. Lots of room for our grandson to runaround in outside. Very cosy with the wood fire for when the weather became cool in the evening. Would highly recommend.
Truly a great experience All five couples very impressed with the setting and facilities
Accommodation was above all expectations

Family getaway
The property is one of a few with enough beds to accommodate a large family. Being able to have wood fires in 2 areas of the house is good. Has nice views and lost of space for kids to explore. There are no close neighbors which was a bonus. There were a few small suggestions which I will pass on stays. But these did not cause any problems.
Excellent accommodation, well equipped kitchen with everything you would need.
Comfortable lounge with warming open fire and valley views
Very comfortable beds
Exceeded expectations and can only find positive things to say.
It was perfect for what we were looking for and in magnificent surroundings.
Can’t wait to go back again!!!!
Excellent location and spacious, well appointed house. Perfect weekend away with friends. We arrived late evening and the owners had turned lights and heaters on for us. A delightful welcome on a cold night.
We will definitely be back.
As a large group of 14 friends
we found Olive grove the perfect solution for our weekend away.
The open fire was wonderful , beds comfy and vista sublime. Perfect distance from town so we could relax without distractions.
