Spacious beautifully fitted out villa with beach views in a small cluster of other villas well separated and discrete plantings to maintain privacy. Beautiful breakfast hampers delivered each morning. Deep spa bath in large bathroom with underfloor heating. Extremely comfortable bed in bedroom with views to beach. Comfortable lounge area and dining table for two. Kitchen with all amenities excluding oven, but each villa has it's own BBQ

Magical place. Great accommodation with everything we needed. Good to have the extra "drinks" fridge. Nice to have the extra indoor and outdoor spaces in the cottage. We enjoyed the upgraded path to the cave past the airstrip, made it much easier for access for our older guests. Caught a snapper for dinner off Gilberts beach. Great maps and trail descriptions, we just needed more time to do more exploring!!!!
