  • David

    “The owners were friendly and helpful.”

    The kitchen was well resourced and very suitable for meal and snack preparation, the shower was brilliant and the bedroom and lounge area very comfortable. In the very hot weather, the small AC unit and the fan were vital in maintaining a reasonable temperature.
