I liked this property and it offered everything needed for a short comfortable stay. The only criticism was the shower. It was impossible not to make a mess as there was no shower curtain and the whole floor, toilet etc got wet. This is easily fixed by installing a ceiling mounted track to hang a shower curtain on. Otherwise the hosts were very hospitable and their dog Bruce was a real bonus. Loved him.

Comfortable place to stay in great location - near variety of cafes and restaurants and across the road from the beach. Only downside was that the only access to the room was through the owner's front door - no private access.
