“Memorable and comfortable stay.”
Totally different living experience staying in a church will remember this experience. Very comfortable accommodation and facilities. Handy yo botanical gardens, supermarket and restaurants. Not far from city and university. Roger our host very welcoming and gave us a tour of the church and his project to transform it while keeping important elements of the church.

The apartment was comfortable and warm, with a lot of small extras that made us feel extra welcome, for example a small jar with chocolates, and bath salts in the bathroom. The property has been renovated in keeping with the church vibe, but the owners have added modern touches, such as the keyless entry, and high quality bathroom fixtures. The decoration is well thought through and co-ordinated. We would have stayed longer if we could! Roger was happy to meet us and take us on a tour of the church - this was also a highlight!

“Unique and interesting accommodation with thoughtful inclusions”
Very interesting and unique property with some thoughtful inclusions - chocolates and biscuits as well as Nespresso coffee machine. Enjoyed hearing about the renovation and seeing some problem solving in action. Would love to come back in a few years to see the progress.
