Great service, warm hospitality - the host was courteous and accommodating. They got the basics rights with classy artworks, great floor tiles, beautiful curtains & clean linen. The Aircon was a life-saver. Showers were pleasant. Absolutely quiet without other guests - peaceful.

Did request mosquito repellants whilst booking - was not really an issue though, I always carry my own. Window frames & latches need attention.

The host is caring and attends to the patrons needs without delay. The tranquility of the place makes you feel comfortable being there. The room has all the amenities, except for soap. Excellent choice in deed 👌.

Breakfast menu needs to be varied to accommodate those who do not eat red meat and pork.
