This review is long overdue as we visited in December 2010! We were a party of 10, two families travelling together and we still talk about our stay. The rooms were large, bright, clean and affordable. The location was quaint, quiet and located very near Norman Point and the dolphins. The owners went above and beyond in terms of being... More

I might be expecting too much. We arrived at the room and were desperate for a cup of tea after a long trip. Only one cup in the kitchenette. How about a warm shower to freshen up. Sorry no soap supplied. Shower head sprayed water all over the room. Lets use the wireless internet connection advertised as provided. Unable to... More

I stayed for one night to see the dolphins and was really happy with how friendly and helpful everyone was. The room was very clean and was a good place to unwind and get away from it for a little bit. More
