Bathroom was super cute with clean white tiles, hallway was clean, amenities worked well, room was simple but perfect for me, privacy and security was good. Neighbourhood was quiet, with old buildings and cats and a couple of curious, friendly dogs.

    My recent stay at this home stay had its highs and lows. While the place was commendably clean and well-equipped with a kitchen and BBQ amenities, a plus point was the provision of additional floor mattresses to accommodate more people, which was appreciated.

    The location is good. Dangga Bay is now a popular area for tourists and locals. The unit was clean. The property is managed by a management company. The company staff is helpful but because they are not owner, making it difficult for them to engage with the property management committee.
