Perfect!....The best thing about the vacation was having no internet connection & very little mobile coverage. It made it a total break away & allowed us to appreciate everything about the location of cottage & the amazing surrounding area. It was a complete break away which is what a vacation should be.

It is a lovely setting, just bird noise, nothing else. Great to see the almond trees still in blossom, and we overdosed on oranges and Raf tomatoes (if you see strange coloured green / blackish tomatoes just buy them!).

Memorable parts? I loved Zanzibar - particularly the Columbus Monkeys and Tortoise Sanctuary on Prison Island. Oman’s grand mosque. Tips? Ensure flight times do not impinge and decrease your total amount of days spent in each place to really explore Local benefits? The trip benefitted local people but was environmentally unfriendly as all excursions were booked as a solo traveler. I had vans and big boats to myself. Overall rating? Amazing vacation. I always find... (more)Zahra Niazi

Memorable parts? The view, the peace. Our hosts Will and Bea who are so helpful and informative and we mustn't forget the two dogs, Joey and Basho who were great company. Tips?

There are a number of stairs from the car parking area to the place so if you have a severe mobility problem you may find it a little... (more)Christine Pavey

Memorable parts? It was fantastic to spend time with local Maldivians and to get a genuine feel for their country and lifestyle. Another highlight was snorkelling with turtles and manta rays in the crystal clear aquamarine waters off some of the many islands.
