The property was clean and comfortable with good off street parking. Maybe, at most, 1km from major shopping centre. Across the road from mini mart and good takeaway shop. It suited our needs perfectly.
The owner was very pleasant and helpful

Rock hard beds and paper thin walls. Even with a car it's a 15 minute drive to anything worth seeing. Close to lots of beach access and clean.
