This place is an absolute gem. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are completely clean and comfortable. Anything you need they are there for you. They give you vouchers for breakfast at a nice restaurant down the road which a plate only costs you $5.00. Everything about here was just lovely. We originally booked for just 1 night and after we got there and met the staff and saw the area and the rooms we booked 2 additional nights. Would 100% recommend to anyone!!
