Don't bother - totally disappointed. We stayed here in 2024 with the previous owners who renovated it and turned it into an Oasis and personalised each room with murals that are spectacular. Returned for my husbands 60th birthday and regretted it after a few hours. Booked for 4 adults, had swimming towels for 2. Messaged owners and they eventually came and delivered 2 more. Went to use the dryer (washing machine/dryer combo) and it wet our towels, what the. Error message, tried trouble shooting as per manual. Nothing. Messaged the owners, no reply. It poured rain the entire time during our stay so NO dry towels. Won't be back.
