I think this was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The decor is fabulous and the hosts Deon and Leanne were so lovely, they welcomed us with a wonderful tour and nice glass of wine. It felt like going to your dear friend’s fabulous home for a visit. The accommodations were superb. They have thought of everything you might need or want. And beautiful!!! I wish we had stayed there more than 1 night. On the ocean with a lovely view and so luxurious. Wilderness is a beautiful area. I hope...

Can't wait to go back.
