Exceptional stay – highly recommend!

We had such a lovely stay at ShipsBell on Saturday night! It was the absolute perfect overnighter. The location is fantastic—there are shops close by, and it is a beautiful, easy walk down to the beach. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean and incredibly neat, which we appreciated so much. To top it all off, the owner was wonderfully accommodating and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

A pleasant stay in clean and comfortable environment.

The location and view were excellent. The apartment was spotlessly clean. There is a safe provided which is great for international travellers to secure their passports, etc. Parking was freely and easily available.

There is constant and clear communication about check in. The place is very clean.

One of the few properties that is as advertised, if not better! It is exactly how I imagined it and better.

Sheets were stained so we were not impressed by that although the owner said they would be replaced the next day we feel it was a bad oversight by the cleaner.
