Loved it!
This is the perfect property for 2 families! We stayed over New Year and the location is very central for the shops, beaches & parks! Mal made sure we were comfortable and was very hospitable and friendly. The properties are very well appointed and we had everything we ever needed. I would highly recommend staying here, we all loved it!

A wonderful place & location
We booked the entire place and couldn't be happier with both the location and the property itself. The view was outstanding and the facilities top notch. The central location in the quiet town of Swansea was ideal for kicking back and relaxing, eating out at the many nearby clubs and restaurants, and the numerous activities all within 30 mins drive. We will definitely be staying here again with friends and family.
