Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohlgefühlt und haben die schöne Aussicht durch die große Glasfronten wirklich genossen. Vormittags konnte man auf dem Balkon wunderschön in der Sonne sitzen. Es ist alles da was man braucht, um es sich auch mal bei schlechtem Wetter in der Unterkunft gemütlich zu machen. Wir würden das Airbnb von Brad auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen!

We loved our stay at Brad's! Clean and well equipped. Brad was very responsive to our questions and very flexible with Check in/out times. Hot tub was clearly well kept, and a lovely way to end our time in Picton.
