The studio is compact but well appointed and comfortable with everything you could need. Being over the water is a lovely, tranquil experience and the views delightful. It is a very relaxing place to stay. This was our second stay and it was as good as the first. We will no doubt be back again in the future.

Peaceful location

We had a very nice stay here. The studio we stayed in was facing the water and it was nice to spend some time on the verandah watching boats go by. The room was clean, had everything we needed and the area was quiet so we managed to relax and sleep well.

The location is excellent—quiet, private, and close to everything you need. However, I noticed pet hair on the furniture, and the sofas were quite worn, which made the property feel less clean than expected. The biggest issue was that the Wi-Fi stopped working the day before I left, and the air conditioning was not very effective. Overall, considering the quality of the accommodation and the issues I experienced, I don't think it offers good value for the price.

It's just a lovely spot. Everything was clean and tidy. It has modern facilities and is very comfortable for a small studio. And the view is sensational. Owners responded very quickly to a couple of questions.
