What a lovely surprise, the house was so welcoming with relaxing music and scent diffuser going. It was a warm welcome to a house that was fully equipped with everything of high quality. Amazing pool and surrounds with fire pit area to sit and look at the mountains. Walked to Palm Cove beach every day, returning to this lovely "Retreat".Thanks to the team for making the effort.
