Stayed 9 years ago on a recommendation and was so impressed back then that upon our next return we made sure we stayed here again. Stayed in a two bedroom cottage this time and was spotless, spacious and comfortable. Will stay again when next return and will continue to recommend.

Great place to stay
The room was nice, comfortable beds and airconditioning. Large courtyard with plenty of seating and bbq's for use. I believe the best part of the stay was the friendliest of the staff. Made us feel like family. Will definitely stay there again

I really appreciated the “family-owned” feeling that this place gave. The rooms were clean and had many amenities. My only complaint was noise from other rooms after 11 pm.
