Sensational cliff top views and Super Hosts

We loved the cliff top view. We felt perched in the air from the large balcony. The hosts were warm, wonderful and made us feel very special. They both hosted a fantastic breakfast and all the guests staying were made to feel like one big family! Visit for the hosts and the view!
