We met the hosts, who were very friendly and enthusiastic.They even made dumplings for us to celebrate Chinese New Year. This makes us feel very warm. I highly recommend this place to everyone. 谢谢!新年快乐!

We really enjoyed our short stay. Being just a couple of minutes walk from the Stone Store makes it a great location with easy access to the bush walks and waterfalls. Nice to be able to park the car off the road and the studio itself is very quiet and peaceful looking out onto well maintained gardens. The studio is cosy with TV, bench space, toaster, kettle, microwave and utensils. A couple of comfy chairs and a single bed. The main bedroom is spacious with a modern bright and clean ensuite shower, basin and toilet. The hosts are adjacent and are super friendly and engaging, more than happy to help and make sure that you are comfortable. We were initially drawn by the reasonable price and were unsure what you expect, but this place exceeded our expectations.

The waterfront studio was one of the most scenic places we have stayed. The view is outstanding and the room is excellent. It was so good that we stayed in every night for dinner to enjoy the view and location. We were exceptionally well hosted and the room was great value with breakfast and cheeses provided. We would definitely return and recommend this for your next stay.

Much more than a room, it only misses a table to be considered a full apartment with a small functional kitchenette. Very nice and cosy, spacious and provided with all those small details that make a stay comfortable, like salt and oil or cleaning products. Good quiet location, just outside Pahia, although you need your car to get there. Great value for money, highly suggested
