At the guest house, all units come with a wardrobe. The units include a private bathroom, slippers and bed linen.

What a gem! While the rooms are basic (as advertised), the bed was comfy, shower hot, breakfast amazing, and staff was lovely. Such a good value for your money, especially if not looking for all the frills. Location is right by the lake and a short walk to lots of restaurants.
