    The location was not the best, but seemed quiet enough. My mattress was as hard as a rock, and very uncomfortable.

    Lovely view, food was great. Loved that everything was on sight, restaurant, bar, etc

    it doesn't have a cupboard to hang your clothes.

    besides the fact that it did not have a wardrobe/cupboard, everything else was super and definitely value for money😊

    We had an incident at the property but the staff were very good and the problem was resolved. Hence, why we are still giving them a 7 and would recommend to other people to stay there.

    I liked the ocean views and kitchen as well as the staff

    I was there for 2 nights. First night I didn't sleep because the owner's son and his girlfriend came in late to party....she got very drunk and was screaming until 4h a.m. Running in the hallway we're all guests were trying to sleep, and laughing, screaming & talking loud near the pool table and bar area. The door was open between so we heard her/them all night. Terrible when no one is there to tell them to quiet down. She/ they are not guests so they should of keep it down or get out of there. Hard for us to get up early to go surfing and enjoy our day when we haven't slept. The second night was perfect & quiet. Everyone was quiet !!!!

    The location, sunrise, kitchen and the view was great !!!

    The common aren’t very clean & our toilet was leaking (at least that’s what we think caused all the water in our bathroom)

    The view is great. Love that we could see the surf.

    There was a mix up with part of booking, where a ladies worship group thought they had the whole of one accomodation building to themselves, but did not and procedeeded with loud rituals at inappropriate times of the early hours of the morning, but at least it was only one night, and we were adequately compensated, for the disturbance.

    Staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful

    The toilets are communal and there's no separate men's or ladies so it can be uncomfortable at time.

    Amazing view from the room and just a great location. And they have done a great job with the communal kitchen

    The kitchen for self cooking is not well stuffed, but at least it works to cook if you are creative

    The people there was very welcoming and nice. Also the location directly at the beach with great waves is perfect, especially for surfing.

    The door of our dorm didn’t close. If you want to sleep before midnight, it’s not your best option.

    Its the 2nd time we have stayed there and both times the bedside lights didn't work, this time no plugs worked at all in our room so couldn't charge anything 🙃 but gave us more quality time i guess. The bed in our room was extremely hard.

    The view is breathtaking, however if you have a bottom floor room the bush is in the way of the view. Otherwise its perfect 👌

    We booked the room with the double bed and a bunk bed. Linen had residue of beach sand so it was very uncomfortable. I had to sleep on top of the duvet cover to fall asleep.

    Location is perfect. Especially if you like watching Sunrise. Most of the Staff members were Friendly and helpful. Especially the cleaning lady
