    The details of the room could have been cleaner, particularly the 20cm shower head. Ours was absolutely filthy. The outdoor area left alot to be desired as well, the chairs were quite dirty and cushions need to be replaced. For the money paid thinking the finer details shluld not be looked over.

    Fantastic location, close to beach and lots of food options.

    The downside is that if you wanted to eat food from the bar in your cabin, you had to physically order from the bar and wait, they wouldn’t take our orders over the phone for pick up

    Excellent value for money, and the place was gorgeous. We booked this place 30 minutes before arriving because we’d been travelling all day and just needed someone to sleep. Absolutely will stay here again during our next trip

    The lighting to get to the bungalow was almost non existent and with the wetlands literally just over the edge in the dark it became rather dangerous. The room needed a really good dust, but was really cute.

    Lovely location, easy parking, staff were great communicators, bungalow was adorable.

    The sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable. Had dishwashing liquid bottle but there was none left.

    Beautiful location! Close to the beach and caves. Our kids had very much enjoyed our stayed. Check in was quick. Staff was friendly. Rooms were nice and clean. Bottled water were complimentary in the fridge when we arrived, as were tea and biscuits. Beds were comfortable. Drying racks provided. Great stay! Would love to come back

    Great, apart from the no-door toilet. The only reason why I wouldn't stay again.

    No door on the toilet. This is the stupidest thing some (a very small minority) hotels do. So uncomfortable and probably the only reason we won't stay again. For the owners, remember this - You can only loose customers by not having a door on the toilet. No one will say ever, 'let's stay at that place again because I love how the toilet doesn't have a door on it.' They will only say 'I don't want to hear or smell you go to the toilet. I'm not staying there again'. Why, oh why, would you do this? It's not cool, it's not hip. It's not architecturally brilliant or cutting edge. It's uncomfortable. Just put up some clouded glass or something. How the owner didn't say to the architect 'This is daft, go and put a door on the toilet' astounds me. But I could be wrong, if someone really likes it, please respond. Such a great place and beautiful room, only to be let down by something no one wants.

    The location right next to the beach, the bungalows over the water pond, the birds, the room apart from what I will mention in the next box.

    The room was freezing! We were cold all night. The heating would switch off at 20 degrees. We kept having to have hot showers to try to get warm. Also hate not having a door on the toilet. No one wants to sleep to the sound of their partners peeing.

    Location is beautiful, rooms and well set up, beds are comfortable

    The check out staff. Unfriendly. No smile or even acknowledgement. No nice bath products.

    Room was lovely. Smelt a bit on arrival but once the air con was adjusted from freezing to normal it was fine. Bed was really comfortable and the robes were a nice touch. Great bath but no nice bath products - maybe some salts/bubble bath etc.

    The room was musty and I suffer from mould allergies .. I was quiet sick after this visit There was also … broken blinds … filthy sliding doors and immovable sliding screen … dead unwatered plants ..so sad to see this neglect in Our favourite location The rust in the support structure needs urgent attention 🙏🏻 it very sad We only treat ourselves on VERY SPECIAL occasions …. We were a little disappointed this time …. I’m confident no one will read this However I’d love to see this improve for others.

    We had faulty blinds, one blind actually falling and breaking off the rails and hitting me in the head and bruising my wrist. We were moved to another room with a broken screen door but working blinds.

    The beautiful view, friendly and accommodating staff, excellent food and clean beautiful room. Perfect for a couples get away to celebrate an anniversary….perfect minus some details.

    We had trouble opening the flyscreen, and we had to wait for someone to walk by to open the flyscreen. It needs a handle on the inside of a flyscreen. Would be nice to have a toaster. Outdoor chairs were very uncomfortable. they were like sitting on the floor.

    The layout of the room was very spacious. Bed was very comfortable.
