Dearest Tanya, Tony & Emma - Thank you so much for a beautiful stay.

January 2012
Thank you for having us in your wonderful studio. It is such a lovely place. We loved it the moment we set our foot in it. The view, the quietness and tranquility is so amazing! At first we thought that we will be 'trapped' in the studio as it rained everyday during our stay. However, this is far from the truth - we are having amazing time in your studio, soaking in the spa, tea & coffee on the verandah looking out at the rain & storm rolling through...it is fabulous! We will definately recommend this place to our friends & family. Thanks again. PS: We think that you guys have mastered the art of ninja - we never see or heard you but there are always fresh squeezed juice and bread every morning outside our studio. Good work! ~ Wei & Julie
Thank you for a most relaxing, serene 2 nights in your wonderfully spacious & well equipped retreat. We really appreciated the coffee machine, the spa, the full kitchen, the fresh bread, the chocolate cupcakes, the spacious bathroom...and on...and on the list goes! We will definately be back again! Cheers ~ Samantha & Andrew
