Lovely renovated property, located within walking distance to shops, restaurants and markets. Spacious, clean, comfortable room with a great BBQ, pantry and kitchen set up at the pool. Well done to the owners. They are great too.

Found pillows very hard. No coffee only mocha and parking car was quite a hassle. I had elected to pay account oin departure but they had already debited my account. So not too pleased about that

Hi Janice,Thanks for the feedback. We have softer pillows in pillow bags in the top of the cupboard. Parking is bit tricky here unfortunately. That's why we tell guests to take any park and reverse in. The coffee is "Moccona, Smooth, Coffee Granules", not "Mocha" as you mistakenly thought. As per our terms and conditions which you received at the time of booking, we take full payment prior to arrival. This removes the problem of fraudulent credit cards and no-shows. I could of easily have done a refund on your credit card and taken cash if you had said something at the time of checkout when you handed me back your room key rather than saying nothing and having a whinge on your post-stay review.Enjoy the rest of your holidays!Bernie
