Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft mit genialer Lage. Ruhig in der Natur und nicht zu weit zu den Stränden. Frühstück war auch jeden Tag spitze und immer abwechslungsreich. Genau wie das Abendessen. Gerne wieder, viele Grüße und alles gute :)

You feel like you are with family
Pros:

You lived like you would with family, so you felt like you never had to worry about anything really, laundry, food, cleaning and also just getting to experience day to day living at a family’s home

We also danced together, played cards together, watched TV and movies together, I also stayed for the Buddhist new year and got to experience how they traditionally celebrate this beautiful day

Even Tisha who is Newtons son is a surf instructor and gave me some amazing surf lessons while I was here, I felt like a progressed really fast and was already surfing in the intermediate surf area by the second lesson

Cons:

For me personally there is nothing that I did not like, I just had some requirements for a longer term stay, since I work remotely

So I was looking for somewhere with more stable internet, a kitchen for my own cooking and just where I have a more self service options as well just because of budget reasons

All the services they do have though are fantastic and generally very affordable, so if I was not staying for months and not working I would have definitely loved just being pampered the way I was here

Lovely familie
Pros:

We loved the family very much, the outside area is nice and the aircon was just a big plus. It is a bit of a walk but we actually liked it. The free breakfast was very nice and they sometimes just came to bring a coffee or some snacks. Lovely family.

Cons:

The only thing I would say are the dogs at night. They become very loud and we had some trouble sleeping. But with earplugs it was fine.

Pros:

Schön ruhig gelegen. Ein Spaziergang Richtung Stadtkern bietet schöne Aussichten und dauert etwa 10 Minuten. Die Zimmer sind recht klein, aber ein Schreibtisch dient der Ablage. Nette und bemühte Gastgeber.

Cons:

Den Preis fürs Frühstück sollte ich selbst bestimmen. Das hat mir nicht so gut gefallen. Mir ist es lieber, wenn ein konkreter Preis genannt wird. Andernfalls ist es ein wenig unangenehm.

U get what u pay for - cheap and loud.
Pros:

Komfortabel seng, og ikke langt å gå til stranda - rundt 1km. Men hundene og støy holder deg våken gjennom natten og avtalt pris via booking ble ikke holdt av utleier som økte prisen. Familien er hyggelig, men klarer du ikke å sove gjennom støy vil jeg anbefale å ikke booke her dessverre.

Cons:

Støy og øking av pris (selv om det var ekstremt rimelig å bo der). Vanvittig varmt, og uten å lukke vinduene blir hundehyl og musikken for mye.
