Pros:

Günstiger Preis

Cons:

Mobiliar und Ausstattung war sehr heruntergekommen, gefühlt 30 Jahre alt. Herd, Mikrowelle etc. war ‚sehr gebraucht‘. Im Bad der Wasserhahn locker im Waschbecken, die Toilette müsste dringend ausgetauscht werden.

Quiet and great place to stay if you're on a budget.
Pros:

Our room was further from the main road so it was quiet. There are fruit trees on the property and the grounds were tidy. We stopped for one night and it was budget friendly. It's walking distance to Woolworths so easy to grab food instead of takeaways. Water pressure was awesome and didn't take long to heat up.

Cons:

We had a studio, a bit of TLC required as we had ants meet us on the kitchen bench. Easily remedied by using some citrus skin in water to there them.
