Everything was perfect. I would love to move in permanently. Beautifully appointed room, great water pressure and fast Wi-Fi. Lovely patio outside the room. Chris was the perfect host, and a big shoutout to Allison, Beauty and Oskar. Due to the government electricity blackouts there were daily periods of no electricity, but Chris ensured the backup generator kicked in so guests were not inconvenienced. Loved the breakfasts, and had dinner most nights at the guesthouse. All were exceptional.

Lynne and Gary were perfect hosts and made us feel welcome from the moment the stay was booked! Lynne was attentive and generous - I let her know at the time of booking that me and my sister were vegetarian, and when we arrived there was a box of soy milk and a box of vegan muesli on the counter for us. The guesthouse was open, clean and refreshing. The garden, pool and gazebo area were beautiful. The included breakfast was set up in our room on our arrival, with all the necessary goodies in the fridge or on the counter. This was perfect with covid, and also let us sleep in since there wasn’t a time restraint on when we could have breakfast. Our room also had a dolce gusto coffee machine, so we bought a few capsules and tried the machine out :) Overall, this was a lovely, relaxing weekend away, and we felt refreshed for the few weeks of work before the end of year and the start of the holiday season!

    Stayed in 2 bedroom unit, 3 adults and toddler for 2 weeks. The outer building is lovely. Modern, clean and very secure, with a generator - no power cuts. It's a 3 to 4 star self-service apartment, it's pleasant but a little bit tired so don't expect top quality, up-to-date fittings and and features. Great, central location (but no walking-distance grocery stores). Quiet at night (but in day time there is a ton of noise from cars as it's on a busy road). Security team was very professional.
