Amazing staff, stumbled across this place out of emergency and I was so glad I did! Great location, beautiful rooms, pool, and supportive staff who helped turn a nightmare situation into a lovely stay!

Nothing

Our room was very private and clean and the service was very personal. We were given gifts such as a Locally grown mango and a cold Beverage. I was greeted by Peter who was very friendly and personable. We really enjoyed our stay

My stay wasn’t long enough!

Loved the general feel of this place. It felt like home. It had great character with all the shells and other marine items in the rooms and on the verandah. I loved the place straight-up. Also loved that there were only a few apartments. It had a lovely setting too, with rooms looking out over the pool and rainforest, and was only a quick walk to the beach. The apartment had everything you'd need and I was really happy, even recommending this place to others on the phone, until I went to bed and a light outside stayed on all night...hence my rating of "fair". I couldn't sleep properly!

There were two lights on the verandah outside my room - a fluorescent and another light. This isn't the case with other apartments, where blissfully dark. I phoned the caretakers, who were apologetic but told me they did not know how to turn them off. I'd already looked everywhere for switches but could find none. I was staying there because I was getting up at about 4am for an ultra running race, so this was definitely not good race prep for me! I stood the couch mattress up against part of one big window, moved to a single bed a bit further back in the room and hung the double bed sheets over another big window. It helped a little but it was still very bright. I was very disappointed because before nighttime I was absolutely loving this accommodation. I'm hoping this is read and the light problem is sorted out. It was obviously already known about - I'm thinking it'd be pretty easy to fix!
