Summary: We were welcomed in the house by Naomi who showed us all in the house and garden. Thank you Naomi! The house is big and has all you can need, well equipped kitchen - a kind welcome set of foods and drink- and oil and vinegar any herbs should you want to cook, large living room and large bedroom with a super large, super good bed, walk in wardrobe, bathroom, all equipped with fans that run noiseless. We did not use the living room (I forgot to mention the dining area) since we sat on the terrace with sea view- just great. The garden is large and beautiful and we were invited to eat the kale and herbs. The star is the outdoor shower, so beautifully designed with plants, just wonderful. The front part of the house is separate and occupied by the sun of the family, who we never saw or heard but would have been there for questions. Very discrete. There are nice beaches near by, a good guide can be found in the house. We also drove along the west cost to Captain cook monument and the painted church etc - a drive of about 2 hours. The house of Marti and Ed is perfect for a relaxing stay and has just one problem: you don’t want to leave it. Thank you for having us!
