The cabana accommodation was basic and of a low standard, we made the mistake of pre-paying, and would have walked away from the place had we not made that mistake. No air conditioning, shower and facilities for that room were well below standard. The owner was pleasant enough but seemed to resent us not booking direct with them.

We had the Cabbana unit which is small and cute. It was a sweltering 30°C on the day we arrived. The unit has no air conditioning which we didnt pick up on whike booking. However, the manager was kind enough to hunt down a pedestal fan which made sleeping somewhat possible that night. Recommend installing air conditioning in that unit, otherwise the unit was good for one night's stay.

Close to pub, cafes.

We stayed in a stand-alone room which was nice and comfortable, and private -a little dated but very clean. The only real annoyance was the rather cramped condition of the room. If you were staying one night, it would be fine. Maybe that was reflected in the price. We were there for 4 nights so found it a bit awkward cooking etc. However we had a really friendly and welcoming greeting on Check-in
