Amazing, well-equipped and spacious home

It was a fantastic house for our large group. We had access to everything we could ask for. The house was so comfortable and warm. It was also very well-located. We wish we could have stayed longer! Viv was a great host, super helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return again.

Amazing property full of zen

Brum's place was very special. Lots of zen like ornaments, beautiful homewares, very artistic and beautiful nature surrounds the property. We loved the house and the pool was great to have a splash. The house was perfect for our group of 9, beds were very comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms so everyone is catered for. Viv is an amazing host and I'll definitely be returning. Thanks for everything Viv. You're a legend :)
