"This was just an amazing B&B. I only had the time to stay one night, but I liked it so much I changed my itinerary just to stay there an extra night. The location was amazing, close to trail that follows the coast. It was safe and quiet, yet close to the restaurants in town. The owners were friendly, helpful and became almost like family to me. The room was just amazing, superclean and very comfortable and cozy. Great value for money.The free wifi was the fastest I had in Africa, I really did not want to leave this place. I will absolutely come back and stay here the next time I pass by."
