A beautiful oasis getaway
10.0
The location was amazing, we named it our oasis. You drive on a dirt road through farmland and dry scrub and turn into this beautiful oasis. Tall lush trees, everything was green and flowering. We loved the garden and the pool. The house was very cute, decorated in a classic cottage style with some modern flair. The amenities were perfect and the cottage is newly built, you can tell it's all fresh. It really made us feel like we were living in luxury.
− Took a little bit to sort out the wifi as the starlink for the property was down and we needed to re-boot it. However the manager of the property was quick to help us. The pool needed some updating and the furniture/decor didn't really match or wasn't consistent throughout the house. The door knobs on the doors would rattle a bit when you used them and the doors didn't click into place so the wind would open the doors constantly. Would be nice to have some small garden lights so at nighttime you can see them across the garden or even some fairy lights. These things did not effect our stay! Just some small areas that could be improved but not essential.

It felt like an Eden garden, a true little paradise. The property blends the feeling of France, Portugal, Italy, and Australia into one beautiful place. The garden is large and inviting, perfect for wandering and relaxing, and the cottage sits naturally within this stunning landscape. There’s also a large pool to use. It is a wonderful place to relax and truly destress. The beds are amazingly comfortable and look out onto the garden.

A magnificent property to explore and enjoy.
10.0
The Olives was a quiet secluded property close to local amenities but far enough away to enjoy the quiet country retreat. The home was beautifully presented and very comfortable with everything you need for a stay away from home. We can not wait to spend more time there in the near future.
− There isn't a thing we were disappointed about except that it wasn't warm enough to enjoy the pool. It's a magical experience with lovely gardens to enjoy.
