Photographs cannot do Orange Grove justice; come see for yourself! The space A truly spectacular setting, nestled amongst the trees with direct beach / lake access. This custom built holiday house has been designed as the perfect getaway from busy city lives. The house is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

Stunning views from all rooms help make the house the perfect all year round escape for couples, friends and families alike.

There is a selection of DVDs to enjoy (including a childrens selection), as well as various board games and a range of children's toy, which saves you bringing them with you!
