Views were amazing..perfect relaxation 😌 ✨️..hosts always around if needed..walk to the beach and close to malls. Would go back again !!.

    The property owners/staff everyone involved in the guest house went over and above for us always extremely friendly and helpful had an absolutely fantastic stay with a gorgeous room! This is the place you need to have your holidays at not to mention the property being so close to the beach and shops/restaurants literally being within walking distance you get your privacy from other guests staying there as well absolutely would come back again and would one hundred percent recommend family and friends to visit in the future if you are reading this please take my words for it this is the place you want to go! Thank you again! -Damian Paul

    What a beautiful place with beautiful views. We spent most of our time watching the whales pass by while drinking some coffee. The room was super-duper clean with everything you could need and feels very home-y. Debbie is a wonderful host and made our stay so special, we can't wait to come back.

    the water pressure in the shower was weak and the rooms that do not have sea views are a bit out of the way from the pool and views.
