Room smelt of strong cigarette odour and rooms clearly non smoking. A lot of people smoking out front of rooms and outdoor ashtrays not emptied. Had to request a room change after a bad nights stay.

One night stay Oct. 2024. Property is on the main road, but far enough back that it's not noisy. Our room was huge - it included a second bedroom which slept 4 more! We didn't need that. Good kitchen. We bought food from the grocery store (1.5 km away) and cooked our own supper. The 'downtown' is about 1.5km. in the other direction, if you're looking for restaurants. Good accomodation. Recommended.

I chose this venue based on pay on check in. As we were checking in late, payment was demanded over the phone. Left over food found under one of the beds and unable to use the electric blankets due to unsafe frayed plugs.
