We love it and it’s not our first time there. We love the staff, clean rooms, close distance to the airport. We always stay there during our travels and they help with free shuttle to the airport. We will be back for sure.

Deserves a much higher rating on Booking. Lovely and welcoming staff. The owner is very responsive. Location is right in the heart of Stonetown, so it’s easy to walk everywhere, but still quiet. Large rooms and private bathroom was clean with hot water. Excellent value for money. The owner kindly arranged a very early morning taxi and checked if everything was going well. A very caring man. I would definitely stay here again. Google maps has it in the wrong place, so you need to head for the Hindu temple or Secret Garden.

Absolutely loved the green tropical oasis. Everywhere is flowering vines and bougrandes. Breakfast is available on a beautiful roof top terrace patio area. So much handmade art from tires and wine bottles. Breakfast and coffee were yum. Host always available..
