Our check-in was a little earlier, it was more enjoyable. Because our plane arrived early. The staff took great care of our comfortable stay. Also thanks to the janitor, he cleaned the beach every day!

Quiet and peaceful, we had everything we needed and the location right on the beach was wonderful. Easy to get to local shops, restaurants and bars (we particularly liked the Waterline bar) and the bus stop is a few metres from the entrance. The mozzie coils and sprays provided kept the bugs at bay. The owner - Ani - is lovely, very accommodating, respectful and full of useful information.

“5 star holiday”
Loved the beachfront location, sheltered and shallow lagoon for swimming. All you need for a week away in my Garden villa, full sized fridge, oven and washing machine. Spotlessly clean inside and out with caretaker coming daily to look after gardens. Short walk to great eateries Beluga and the Falafel Shack, or an easy bus ride into town...or take the long way around to enjoy the views. My hosts were angels helping out with transfers and local info.... It's easy to see why guests keep coming back...I want to be one of them 🏝

“Highly recommended!”
The location was amazing and it’s so close to the beach! I loved that the area was peaceful and it was literally like having our own piece of serenity whilst being there. The caretaker was absolutely amazing also and Annie took great care of us when we saw her. We can’t recommend this place enough

Anne is so lovely and gave us a warm welcome. The accommodation is right by the beach, you can walk to the beach and slip into the beautiful lagoon within a minute! We loved the little family of chickens that visited our balcony most days too. Facilities enabled us to cook meals and make coffee in the mornings. Location is great and we could easily catch the bus to make trips around the island. It's also close to a nice cafe if you felt like a great coffee there.
