Ian's place is a delight, comfortable, beautiful and well appointed. He directed us to an excellent restaurant for dinner and made all the guests a wonderful outdoor breakfast the next morning. We had as much privacy or company as we wanted. A quick trip down to the beach and the husband came back with a big fish. No request was too much trouble for Ian, who is a splendid host. And Stanwell Park is a hidden gem.read less

And we are so glad we did, his place is amazing - surrounded by the trees and walking distance to the beach. As a host Ian is without a doubt the best we’ve come across - easy to deal with, very accomodating and super friendly (a genuine nice guy).
