Summary: A wonderful home which we stayed in to get ready for our daughter’s wedding. It had great light and plenty of room. Thanks Louise
Heather G. Dec 10, 2025 04:02:51 AM
Summary: Beautiful home, lovely and clean and has everything you need! We stayed and got ready for our wedding which was just down the road and it was perfect! Thank you.
Courtney C. Nov 20, 2025 08:52:32 AM
Summary: I booked this property to serve as accomodations for myself and my bridesmaids the night before my wedding and used as our get ready location the next morning etc and we were all so impressed with the property. It is even better in person than the photos and was absolutely perfect for getting ready activities. Such a beautiful light filled home that has been renovated tastefully while still keeping with the homes era (which i love having owned a similar villa myself). Location was fantastic being about 250m from our wedding venue also. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

James M. Apr 15, 2025 09:30:30 AM
Summary: Beautiful House It is rare to find a house that feels like home; however, this is definitely one of them. We stayed at this location as we were getting married at Markovina Estate, and this home was the perfect location to stay at as it was beautiful in and out, modern where it needed to be but classic everywhere else; it reminded me of my grandparent's place just with more posh / up to date furnishing. Highly recommend and in the words of my 9-year-old son, "this place is a VIBE".
Sheryl C. Feb 11, 2025 05:39:40 PM
Summary: From the time we arrived until the time we left it felt like home. The villa was exactly as advertised with everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The grandchildren loved the toys and books and the big back lawn to kick a ball around. The location was great -easy walking distance to restaurants or a few minutes drive away. The back deck was a fabulous space to hang out and relax
Heather S. Feb 2, 2025 07:42:34 AM
Summary: Beautiful property to stay in, we booked this as a place to get ready before our daughter's wedding and to stay after the wedding. Would highly recommend this gorgeous property.
Ranginui F. Jan 11, 2025 04:18:52 AM
Summary: Amazing renovated villa with open plan dining and living. The place was spotless with easy check in instructions and everything you need for your stay. We attended a wedding at the boathouse just down the road so the location was perfect for getting to and from. The claw tooth bath and beautiful backyard deck was awesome. Highly recommend.
Connor S. Dec 26, 2024 02:33:34 PM
Summary: Stayed for 2 nights over our wedding at Markovina. Perfect location. Beautiful house. Very tidy. Easy check-in/check-out process. Would recommend!
