The fully equipped kitchen features sleek red cupboards and accessories; the black granite island is accompanied by bright red stools. A comfortable leather sofa with widescreen LCD TV nestle enticingly in the corner, ready for you to snuggle in after a day seeing the local sights. Patio doors offer a glimpse of the enclosed patio with sun loungers, a private hot tub and barbecue.

The modern feel of Dream Cottage extends to the bedroom, with its contemporary artwork, fashionable gold and grey colour scheme, and a luxurious bathroom complete with indulgent whirlpool bath.
