10/10 Excellent

We were warmly welcomed and shown around. We had the Nikau room which was modern, clean and comfortable. We had a private ensuite and rear access to a private balcony and car park. The communal kitchen was well stocked and user friendly. A very nice outlook from the dining and sitting areas. A little bit of a walk to the beach but if time is on your side it is not an issue.
