Stayed two nights in a King Spa room and were very pleased with it. Could not fault the bathroom with the spa bath. King bed very comfortable. The continental breakfast was delivered to the room the evening before which was a bit unusual. Toast bread of your choice was wrapped in plasticwrap, and the orange juice which was in a... More

Stayed one night in a queen studio room, room had everything you need but compact due to having the queen bed and single bed in the room. Single bed right in the doorway to bathroom.

Our room was quite big and had a fridge, sink and microwave oven, not really enough for proper cooking. The water pressure in the shower was the... More

The first time there was noise from a party close by and traffic on the main road. I tried it again a second time but this time the noise of the fridge was so loud... More

I expected not find sleep right away as it is along State Highway 1 plus the long stretch of road is being repaired. Yet, it was very comfortable and convenient. The room is big enough and complete with all the appliances. It is kept cleaned every day. The hosts did a fantastic job.
