Great location in Marokopa
Tidy property with the best location and views. Uncomfortable bed and 1 bar heater which struggled to heat the place let it down a bit

Lovely weekend and stay
Thanks again for sharing your fantastic bach with us. This is our 4th time and we loved it. Bach has everything you need and more with kayaks etc... but the best part is the view to wake up to everyday. Thanks again.

Loved our stay at this bach, the views and sunsets were amazing. Very far from shops/gas stations but thats ok. Clean property, our baby had a good time down in the water and we were able to put his tv show on before bed. No problems at all, thankyou for sharing your property with us for the weekend.
