Verified reviewexcellent

This place is a real gem! The setting is very quiet and private and the accommodation is extremely clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Louise is a wonderful host, who spoils her guests with all sorts of treats!

Verified reviewvery good

Forest rest is a lovely little quaint place and best for those quiet moments. The owner, Louise, is the sweetest most adorable person you'll meet. She's so warm and welcoming. Forest rest is safe and secured within a gated community. The apartment is filled with almost literally everything you could possibly need. The Snappi Chef one plate was definitely a hit though the popcorn wouldn't pop :) The way the apartment is furnished and decorated is gorgeous. What you see in the pics is what you get. I thoroughly enjoyed my two nights, especially the pool :)
