“Absolutely fantastic!!”
Everything!!!! We really had a fantastic time! Esther in particular was just amazing; friendly, helpful. Same with Micheal. Location was super, quiet and serene, yet so close to supermarkets and eateries. Units are so spacious. Balconies are awesome. Beds are comfy. It was a pleasure to celebrate our 3rd anniversary there. I will DEFINITELY be returning, and would actively recommend The King Post to others.
