Disappointing stay.
Pros:

Location easy great, within walking distance of shops and restaurants

Cons:

Layout does not work for 5 adults, with two sleeping in the kitchen area. No privacy to either area in which people sleep.

The unit is not the cleanest with dust, spider webs and spiders in all areas. Did not look like it had bern vacuumed. There was also damage to many of the blinds.

The manager was downright rude on the phone. We had made arrangements with the owner a few days before, for key pick up and an extra person for one night. Manager denied all knowledge, said we couldn't change names on the booking (we didn't want to), noone but the named person could pick up the keys; and we shouldn't book through a travel agent, Booking.com

Pros:

We liked the tree house feel, rustic charm , tucked away ,surrounded by huge ferns and green shrubs and trees. The seclusion and privacy. The homely accommodation. Great shower,comfortable nights sleep. And parking. Good location , 5 mins walking to a supermarket, 20mins to centre. Jan the host was great too,very helpful.

Cons:

The dividing panel with neighbouring apartment on decked balcony needed to reach full depth of the balcony, so you couldn't walk between the 2 decks, so more secure. No air-conditioning, but fans provided

Pros:

We stayed here while traveling with our dog, and the host was incredibly welcoming and kind. The property is very dog-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We stayed in an apartment this time, and there is also a campervan site available. Next time we travel, we would love to bring our dog again and experience the campervan campsite.
