Enjoyable stay

8.0

Older property but a pleasant stay. Value for money, quiet and has all the amenities and a bus stop out the front that gets you around the island.

− No bin bags and a tiny amount of dishwashing detergent - not enough for the stay. these arnt big issues in themselves but the property has a sign that says that $50 cleaning fee will be charged if rubbish left and dishes not washed yet they don't provide the tools needed to do this. Only a very thin blanket provided.

5.0

Very pretty scenery. Plenty of nice plants, features and wild life around the site. Easy to access after checking time with easy guide to find room

− The rooms were a little underwhelming for the price after upgrading. Was left a rusty small table and chair while others have wicker full size chairs on their patio. Some rusty shelving units in the bath room, unit heating was set to 31c and still blown cold air even on the right setting. Double bed was two single beds pushed together, after paying for a king double...
