Pros:

Almost everything

I thought I booked 2 bedroom unit only to find 1 bedroom but there were couches for kids. I sent an email because I left my Samsung power bank and a charger but no one replied.

The place is beautiful, with stunning beach views.
Pros:

The property is ideally located next to the beach, offering easy access to public transport and nearby shops. Whether you're looking for convenience, relaxation, or a vibrant coastal lifestyle, this location provides it all.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We had the pleasure of meeting Madala from reception and a lovely lady who prepared our room (Room 114) during our stay from 27 to 30 June. Their service was outstanding — they truly know how to make guests feel at home. Much love to them.

Cons:

Unfortunately, we experienced issues connecting to the Wi-Fi during our stay, which was quite inconvenient for us. Reliable internet access is important, and we hope this can be improved for future guests.
