Lovely by

A lovely place to stay with close proximity to a quiet beach away from the crowds. Will definitely be back!


Not what I expected by

I was disappointed with the accomodation. The owner's team of workers/builders stayed in the unit above my place. I had to silence them myself twelve o'clock at night. I complained about this and the receptionist informed me that she was also not happy with the workers staying in the holiday accomodation but that the owner insisted. Despite my complaint nobody phoned me and apologised. Next time I will pay a bit more for proper accomodation.


Dismally basic by

The best thing this accommodation had going for it was easy access to a lovely quite and clean beach. You could hear the waves breaking from your bedroom, quite relaxing. Other than that the accommodation itself was very basic. No towels supplied in the bathroom. We had to request dishwashing liquid in order to wash the plates and cutlery. TV looks like it came from the late 1980's. The portable stove top was rusted and grundgy looking, not something you'd want to cook on. The bed comfortable but the fan in the bedroom didn't work and the bedroom was infested with die-hard mosquitoes who weren't even deterred by mosquito mats or any form of repellent, made for nights of restless sleep and tons of mossie bites. The hosts were friendly and tried to do their best to accommodate requests. Feel the price, although fair, wasn't worth what the establishment offered, even for self-catering accommodation. Feel a lot could be done to improve this accommodation as this area bodes well for a relaxing, quiet getaway. We stayed for a weekend for a friend's wedding but unfourtunately I don't see ourselves going back to stay again.


Being close to the beach by

Love the space, comfortable and cosy. Area of improvement would be to provide coffee/tea facilities or inform guests to bring own


privacy and access to the beach by

cleanliness needs improvement , TV needs to be upgraded it was an eye soar .
