Was quite a nice experience other than the above mentioned issues
Pros:

Great location just 100 mtrs to beachfront , definitely accommodation with a difference, a little quirky, shower space quite grand.

Cons:

Parking lot was booked and paid for on arrival but when we came back at 10pm someone had taken our parking spot.
Only one cup was supplied for tea/coffee, also we couldn’t find the remote control for the tv, found it under the bed.
