An absolutely wonderful guest house. Impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The hospitality was outstanding — warm, professional, and genuinely caring. We felt truly looked after and would definitely return for longer. Great patio to chill, pool area, big balcony, spacious room, amazing breakfast, comfortable bed, parking spot in secured area on premises and many more things which are wonderfully matched expectations. Thank you Ash and the whole team! Chris and Olga from Ocean room🫶🏻
