So accomodating and perfect during our stay! Every single staff member was so nice & always so helpful when need be. Literally a few steps away from the airport, restaurants, cafes, petrol station & less than 5 minute drive from town! We had an elderly with us & it was perfect for her. Food was was also really goood & decent priced!! Our room had everything we needed & always kept clean & tidy for us! Couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to stay. We will miss you all so much, literally felt like a family!! So highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay!
