I would love to say our stay was terrible and keep this amazing spot a secret, but it was stunning!
Diane and guest support team were amazing!
Our short stay was fill of discovery really thoughtful little touches: Easter eggs on bed, calming music playing as arrived, bag of wood complimentary, marshmallows and skewers in cupboard, cold water in fridge etc.

Awesome cabin, we had an amazing stay. Be sure to keep the doors closed at night if you leave the lights on to avoid having too many bugs inside. Really perfect! Thank you

Awesome place to stay, peaceful and relaxing. We could not find anything wrong with the place. Everything was as described and we recommend booking the extras like breakfast, definitely worth the money.

What a lovely stay this was in the stunningly peaceful Equleni farm.
Diane was super responsive and hospitable. When we encountered a small issue with our fridge, she resolved it by replacing it within halve an hour of notifying her
Besides that she was very attentive, remarkably hospitable and went out of her way to make us feel at home
The place itself is stunning, with great views and all the amenities you need - and more. The woodfire hottub was an absolute highlight !
Would not hesitate to come back here as soon as possible 😊
