The reason to come here is that front porch. The rest of the cabin is small but functional. Give yourself a few hours to stay there and watch the animals of the lake. We were braced for clouds of insects, but there weren't many, maybe we got lucky. We also went for the morning lake tour which was fantastic. Excellent breakfast as well. The host was really helpful and easy to get ahold of.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sanctuary Cove Guest House, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to the lovely couple who look after the place. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any questions or requests I had, and their friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Cove Guest House to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with outstanding hospitality. I can't thank the couple enough for making my visit so memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future. This place is a true gem, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Breakfasts served in accordance with customer expectations. The host, Carlos, is an extremely unique person who hosted me so wonderfully that I felt like I was on a movie scene. Even his dirty smock with a hole in it matched the look perfectly. Greetings to Caru!!! :)
