    It would have been nice to have an oven, also would have been nice to have a fence by the cliff for saftey

    The view was amazing, spa was prefect as was the outdoor heating.

    It’s only small, but if you don’t have your own transport, it is a 15 min walk to the nearest hop on, hop off bus. There are 1 or 2 small inclines also. Definitely not a deal breaker but might be something to consider.

    The property was beautiful and cosy. It was quaint and had everything we could ask for. It is beautifully decorated and everything provided by the hosts are quality; the towels, linens, tea and coffee etc. they have really thought about the small things and made an effort to make it comfortable. We stayed in Winter and it was nice and warm. I would definitely be staying here again when I return.

    The location was perfect, super close to the main town but still feels nice and remote. Views were amazing and we really appreciated the bottle of Mudbrick bubbles.

    A washing machine would be good but accept there is probably no room to install one without impacting on the very special character of the place.

    Exceptional location with gorgeous views. Comfortable beds, great hot tub spa. Bottle of bubbles in the fridge on arrival an unexpected treat. The deck area makes this a very special property.

    The indoor space was quite crammed when all four people were indoors. The driveway was very steep so taxis would not drive down. Mattresses were quite short, so tall people may struggle with length.

    Amazing views, outdoors area and spa pool. The rustic building made for a good vibe.

    Our only minor issue was that, because we taxied to and from the property and because the taxi wouldn't go down the steep driveway, we had to haul our bags down and up the hill. Not a major issue at all (and certainly not on the owners) but just something to be aware of if you're planning to stay!

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Settlers Hut. Was cute and cosy and perfect for our girls' weekend away. Hosts were fab and the whole process was just so well organised - honestly couldn't have been easier!

    The property was slightly difficult to find, the sign needs to be further up the drive as a number of properties at number 60.

    Lovely cottage tucked up in the Bush. Small and cozy, beautiful to sit under the stars in the spa with a glass of bubbles.

    The Hut and bedrooms were cosy and warm with the heaters supplied, even in the middle of winter! The complimentary champagne on arrival was a welcome surprise! We made use of the spa each night, which was ready to use on arrival. The hut was spotless on arrival and had all the amenities we required during our stay. We absolutely loved our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat!

    It is very small with no real living room indoors, which would be fine in summer as you'd spend your time outside/ out for the day. It also does get quite cold instead, although heaters are provided. Pillows could also be replaced and be comfier.

    Lovely little (tiny) place. Very clean, but probably best for a summer holiday due to the expansive deck and outdoor space - which is absolutely amazing! Hot tub was an added bonus :) And the view was unreal. And the host was so lovely and helped us out with every query we had!
