Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy access to public transport and in walking distance of the ferry. The property was clean and well equipped and maintained. Showers were fabulous under the stars. Gardens like a mini rain forest. Loved our stay. Thanks Monica

Well provisioned and relaxing abode
A wonderful stay in tranquil surrounds - great pool, everything we needed to make our own food, comfy beds, gorgeous unique garden bathroom. Bus at the door, supermarket up the road, easy times! We will stay here again for sure.

Bali style retreat with a few drawbacks
Our accommodation was more suited to a family rather than 4 adults. Bunk bed was very uncomfortable, position of ladder made it difficult to get in and out of bed. Bunk bed shared same room as dining table and entry so not a lot of privacy. The position is close to Nelly Bay and reasonably quiet - the next door neighbour started up outboard motor on boat around 9.30 am sunday morning and revved it hard for around 45 minutes which we felt was pretty ordinary form - not the fault of the owners but beware if you are staying there and looking for a sleep in. Nice pool, but cold for swimming at this time of year but would be great in summer. One thing we really get annoyed about is gas running out on BBQ and sure enough it happened after 5 minutes on saturday night and that ruined dinner. It was fixed next day but too late by then. All up - ok but we have definitely experienced better at other places on the island
