      Potential Prospect”

      Situated close to two shopping strips in either direction lies this rustic place with loads of potential. Eventhough the owners have tried to make you comfortable and welcomed. I feel that this venue is over priced and not value for money. The carpets must be removed and the appliances must be upgraded as none worked in our room. There was an unwelcoming odour that was very disturbing. I was told that the place is currently being rennovated but I think it tmust be repaired and not only re-painted. The price must be dropped by 50%, revamp in phases, rip out those faded smelly carpets and varnish those teak floors and get the WiFi working before increasing the price back again. If the owners can book elsewhere for the same product and price as theirs and compare, will they be able to identify their pitfalls. A Potential Gem (Needs TLC & Hardwork)

      Disappointed”

      This was a shocking experience to say the least. It is nothing like the pictures on the booking site. We couldn't find anyone to assist us. The place is falling apart. I understand that it is self catering, but the room didn't even have a fridge. We couldn't get the TV to work. The aircon didn't work properly. The bed is of a very poor quality as well as the bedding supplied. Usually all rooms come with hangers so that you can at least hang up your clothes. This was a double room with balcony (which to me looked very unsafe). Luckily we only had to spend one night there. I would never recommend this facility to anyone.
