“Excellent room and presentation and great location.”
Comfortable bed and sofa, well stocked kitchen with good cooktop & microwave. Lovely big walk in shower. Ceiling fans for our hot evenings & heat pump. Very short walk to the beach for lovely evening walk when the temperature dropped below 30 deg C. Close to city shops etc.

“Excellent value for money.”
My room with ensuite was spacious and immaculately clean. Both nights were very peaceful, with the other guests quiet and respectful. Not necessarily close to town, but almost right on the beach.

Poor internet connection. Tired decor. Advertised as apartment with a garden view. The garden view was of a tree stump and a lawn in need of mowing. In need of some TLC
