Michael was very friendly in receiving us and we were offered free kayaking which unfortunately we didn't have time to experience it. The place has a beautiful view and stunning view of the waterfalls. We had a delicious dinner using the BBQ onsite. The location was near to the supermarket. We enjoyed our stay alot.

Beautiful place to stay, you have everything you need, including a full kitchen, smart tv, comfortable bed. You can park in front of the door and it is walking distance from all the restaurants.

The ocean directly across the road in full view of both lounge and bedroom was amazing. I sat and watched the sunset and sunrise from the couch.

Spectacular views!! Literally so close to the beachfront that when you open the doors you can hear the gentle waves lapping on the shore - amazing!! I also arrived about an hour earlier than anticipated but as the room was ready allowed me to check in sooner. The staff were so attentive and helpful with a few of my request which was great!!

The condo was very well appointed with all amenities. Balcony offered spectacular views of the water as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Conveniently located one kilometer from the town walking along the beach at low tide. Theo, the owner, provided a gracious welcome sparking wine in hand. We appreciated his assistance while parking our beast of a Ford Ranger! Would definitely return.
