Good for large groups
This property is great for large groups that still want their own space. It has two levels, both with kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen pots and pans are a bit tired so you may need to bring your own. Be aware when booking that the price advertised is only for 8 people. Any extra and you’re charged $50pp per night.

What a View!
We had the most perfect weekend at Surf to Mountain Property. The house was very spacious with high ceilings and panoramic view of the mountains. The house had everything you needed to have a relaxing get away. We will defiantly be back for a much longer stay. Thanks Tony.
