We were able to park in enclosed car parking area and found the reception easily. We were made welcome then shown to our very spacious room overlooking the ocean. There was tea and coffee making facilities with water in the fridge as well as an honesty box of snacks if needed. There was a comfortable seating area and the room was tastily furnished.

It was locally owned, smaller guest home that had amazing staff, family friendly and extremely accommodating after having to change dates last minute due to a flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a secluded but elegant home environment.
