    The villa was so pretty. It had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy and we struggled to get up in the morning. Check in was fantastic and we were shown heaps of things to do in the area from a locals perspective. Would come back or recommend to others.

    Really good hostel. The dorm pods are so spacious, you can fit all your stuff in your pod and not feel cramped. Blackout blinds are perfect for privacy and if you want to sleep when it’s still light. The communal areas are great too. Big kitchen with lots of space. Lots of areas to sit either on your own or if you want to socialise with other people. The courtyard area is also nice to relax in.

    Lovely large room overlooking the beautiful garden. Great breakfast and lovely hosts. We got fish and chips from the takeaway down the road and ate in the garden watching the fantails. Very relaxing. One of the best B&Bs we've ever stayed in
