Central Haven: Sunny, Secure & Walk to the River

Central Haven: Sunny, Secure & Walk to the River

10/10 Excellent
"The recently renovated one bedroomed house was tastefully done, it was immaculately clean, extremely well equipped, everything appeared new and well looked after. Netflix was a bonus. Great communication from Kerri. A few minutes walk to the river and about 20min stroll to the centre. The Yellow House café just 2min walk away is highly recommended!"
