"Everything you could need for a long or short stay. Great veranda to enjoy the morning coffee from (or any time of day). If your tall, you need to watch the height of a couple of the doorways at night. Would definitely stay again."

"Unit is fully equipped. Dishwasher, washing machine and drier. Two lounge chairs two dining table chairs. So often there is only one and you have only the bed to sit on. Coffee machine with coffee provided and coffee plunger and coffee provided. Robes. All the extras that make a big difference. Units are a generous size and bed was comfortable. Thank you"
