The perfect stay
Pros:

It was beautiful, homely, very clean and light & airy.

Centrally located close to shops, restaurants, bus stops, the beach and the town square.

Tien & Charlene were exceptional hosts, as were all the staff. They were very happy to help us plan our days and let us know of wonderful places to visit.

The breakfast options were perfect and very reasonably priced.

We felt so welcomed and relaxed, it was like coming from home to home.

They had a lovely garden with fresh delicious apples from the tree - a real treat.

We would most definitely recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful, hina and zaara xx

Cons:

It was all perfect.

Nothing really.
