Pleasant, comfortable stay, across from beach
We had a very pleasant 2 night stay here. We booked a studio unit at the roadside (with beach on the other side). The views were wonderful and the studio very spacious. The small kitchen allows for some cooking and there is a free washing machine and powder available. Walk into the main part of town is about 5 mins. The unit also came with a baby Weber BBQ.

Judith

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We found the property very basic with certain items expected not provided e.g. tissues, ironing board and iron. The bathroom area was very cramped without even a not even a reasonably sized hand basin. The location was very good and the lady running the establishment was very helpful. From our experience with other accomodation we felt this was overpriced.

Nice location!
The location is great! Easy to walk to the beach, restaurants, convenience stores etc. The unit was comfortable and the kitchenette had what we needed. We were in a lower unit and could hear the person above us, not voices, but footsteps, pulling a chair out, that sort of thing. It wasn’t a problem, but it was noticeable. If you are sensitive to that kind of thing, book an upstairs unit. We were happy with our stay.

Although the decor is a little tired, it’s a great, convenient location. The booking we had was for our family of 5, the unit was a great size, comfortable for all of us, clean and tidy. Recommend to families. Affordable and comfortable.
