Gratitude Retreat-Private sanctuary, endless views

EmmaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had the most relaxing holiday at Claire’s place that we have ever had! The house was so comfortable, the decks were the perfect place for relaxing and the pool was divine. The wildlife was beautiful to watch and apart from a night at Nautilus for dinner in Port Douglas one night we decided to cook at home every night. The kitchen is so well kitted out and a cooks dream. Thank you Claire! We will be back!
