Guest review
5.0The location is perfect, right across from the water and has great views. The rooms are private; the bed is comfortable. The host was also very friendly and helpful.
− When we arrived at our room (Room 8), the bathroom had not been cleaned, only a quick wipe down. There were stains in the toilet, a toenail on the bathroom floor, and hair in the shower. I had told the host, and she was very apologetic and moved us to another room. The other room was clean (Room 15); however, the bathtub definitely needs replacing as the tub feels unsteady and the seal around the bathtub has peeled and delaminated. You are also unable to close the bathroom door all the way - possibly due to swelling from water coming out from the bath. This was also my second time staying here, we were in Room 8 the first time and it was not this bad.
Safe, comforting, healing
10.0Lovely location, hot coffee and art studio right next door or short stroll, beach access meters away once you cross the road. A beautiful safe place for solo female travellers. I'll be booking again soon!
− Shower ran out of hot water midway through, but excellent preassure and very clean.
Thanks for accommodating our late arrival, early departure and EV charging
