“Great for backpackers on the move.”
The location is central to most activities, so transport to the tourists zones and the supermarket was extremely affordable using bolt taxi. The breakfast at the accommodation is also excellent. The acccommodation gives you value for your money.

“Great place to stay in between activities”
Really friendly staff, great value for money. Simple rooms and bathrooms but comfortable enough for a few nights. Can buy food at the bar upstairs which is really good.
