Serena is a very kind, generous and happy host. Check-in was simple and easy with clear communication, the room clean and comfortable with thoughtful decor, everything you need was provided plus an amazing breakfast. I took my dogs for the easy walk around the block in the morning and they had lots to sniff. We'd happily stay at Tantarra again.

It is a hidden surprise with its Bali theme and the facilities were better than expected. We had been traveling with our little dog and had been in some very average pet friendly places, this was a highlight and and a pleasant change.

Pleasant, comfortable & relaxing stay

Pleasant & comfortable stay. Well-located on a quiet street, not far from the city centre. The room was clean & the amenities were suitable for an overnight stay with our dog. Breakfast was also nice. The only downside was that the check-in instructions weren't clear initially & we had some difficulty contacting the host when we arrived. However once we were able to reach them, check-in was smooth.

This is not your usual accommodation, its like staying at a friends house with a guest flat out the back! Serena is a wonderful host who gives you the run of the place but is there if needed. breakfast is amazing / restaurant quality/presentation. the room & bed are very comfy with adequate space for 2 & a pooch
