Amazing
Could not recommend this property more, if you are looking for a break away where everything is at least as good as you have at home (& why bother to go away if it isn’t) this guesthouse will meet expectations. It’s quirky, tasteful & the added goodies supplied by the hosts are much more than anyone would expect from a commercial property. From the moment you step in & see the clever architecture & beautiful gardens & pool you feel right at home. A stay at “This Is Us” is a must.
