i loved how close the guest house was to the beach everything was right there plus it was so easy to get back to my room whenever i wanted to the hosts tim and pauline were super nice too breakfast was amazing i could not have asked for more.

i noticed a slight odour in the toilet and the refrigerator made a bit of noise at night these were minor things overall but i thought i should mention them maybe some air freshener would help and checking the fridge.

rigid pre-order system hallway noise

The breakfast pre-order system felt a bit rigid. I wished for more flexibility in selecting items on the spot. the room could have used a bit more soundproofing. Noise from the hallway was noticeable. It disrupted my sleep slightly.
