Only 200 metres to the beach in the country not to far from the city.
Cooking facilities impressive and lounge.
Clean and functional toilets and great showers

Beautiful location about 6 min drive from the town centre and opposite the beach with great views. Really well and thoughtfully laid out in terms of amenities (shared kitchen, sitting area, bathrooms). Would recommend for those seeking a quieter spot to recuperate.

Although this was relatively cheap the room smelt musty. The bed & sheets were clean but the carpet didn’t look recently hoovered and the towels did not smell freshly laundered. The kitchen area was very handy but again it was not terribly clean. Close to the beach and amenities and the lady was very friendly and kind.

The owner Gloria was amazing. She helped us a lot with where we were going etc. it was great sharing the facilities with others and talking to other people including tourists. An older facility but well maintained and quiet by the beach. No

Nice price and pretty location. Not my styke but ok for a big group.
This is a lodge this community kitchen and lounge. Astounding views, and a series of double and twin rooms.
Bathroom facilities are tidy and segregated.
This is a great overnight place if you are not looking for the luxury of a hotel or motel and are happy to share with a community.
