“I really enjoyed my one night stay in this hotel, which is perfectly suited to people who enjoy an older (colonial) type”
Wonderful staff. Good location and very clean, with comfy bed, pillows and good linen. The verandah provides a great spot to enjoy a drink and snacks, and it makes for an ideal stop-over spot.
