I had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and thoughtfully designed featuring a fully equipped kitchen that made my stay feel like home. I especially enjoyed the private deck perfect for morning coffee and relaxing evening drinks. The property itself was warm and inviting the pool area was clean and well-maintained. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add lounge chairs to lay on and a few side tables by the pool for added comfort. Overall a wonderful experience and a place I would happily return to.

Staff polite, Room clean but paint coming off walls. No curtains just vertical blinds. Air con good. Smoke alarm not working was disconnected and sitting in kitchen. Not shown to room but shown on map. Walkway outside units not well lit. Pool looks great but was end of autumn so a bit cold for that.

The room was very clean and well-equipped but really could benefit from some refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and made up daily to a very high standard. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water The receptionist was pleasant and welcoming and the cleaning staff were helpful and responsive. Overall, this is a very good place to stay.
