Very comfortable, excellent location, fantastic breakfast!

This is a beautiful venue. Very comfortable and well located. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Nicky was fantastic - she met us there and showed us around. Mary-Ann was also really wonderful. She served us a very generous and delicious breakfast. Without a doubt, we will stay here again.

Can't wait to stay again!

The location is perfect. Although everything is close, this spot puts you in the middle of town. Very safe and secure (I was traveling alone this time). Absolutely everything you need is there! Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom had ur necessary toiletries in case you forgot your shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Electric blanket and an aircon ensured there was no chance of me getting cold. 😊 The breakfast was superb!!!👌🏼
