Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

    The staff is amazing (thanks Kai and Pricilla!) and gave us a great tip about a hot springs trail that was stunning. We felt very welcome there and enjoyed chatting with fellow travellers in the common area. The bunks felt very private with the curtains and a little reading light and the beds were great, as were the bathrooms. Very clean and spacious. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay, as did many others!
