Very good room for price. They have good parking and locating next to beach and town.
The room had lovely fresh decor and the garden around it helped make it feel private. In room facilities were great with cutlery/microwave/bowls etc. and the bathroom was a good size

Clean room.. Went to the office multiple time. Was closed. Left No to contact on emergency.
Modern and beautiful bathroom. Poor amenities
Enjoyed our stay. Everything was great with room, bathroom and location Second roombin our group had a split system issue which they tried to fix but could only come up with a temporary solution with for the night.
Bed, bedding & pillows were so soft & comfortable. Towels were super soft & fluffy. Self check in was great. Nice spacious unit. Parking on site was a great bonus too.
Lovely quiet room, private and comfortable. Sitting on the deck listening to the ocean at night - bliss. Breakfast cuppa with the birds was wonderful. An excellent venue, fast self check in and wonderful hosts. Many thanks!
