Great stay

The apartment is immaculate and is very private as it is set away from the main house. The kitchen is well equipped. The complimentary continental breakfast when staying two nights, was great. The owners are very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Thank you !

A really good set-up place.

A really good set-up place. We much appreciated carport with level concrete floor for our motorbikes. Laundry was a blessing as we had minimal luggage. Warm rooms with air-con. Good shower. Comfy bed. Space to spread out. Just perfect and we will certainly be recommending this to our biker mates. Don't be surprised to see us book again when we are coming On our next trip South.

All facilities are way superior to usual expectations, e.g. dishwasher. Furniture comfortable, especially the bed. Good views. Continental breakfast quite unexpected, if not luxurious - bowl o f fresh fruit, whole loaf of fresh bread, bottles of spreads, choice of cereals. fancy local chocolate. Although we didn't need them, there are generous laundry facilities also. It is most convenient to the town and local attarctions. All in all, this is the best place of this kind we have visited.
