Guest Review

Amazing location, and the highlight was the little private beach area. It was so lovely to wake up and have a coffee whilst watching the water and reading a book.

I really liked having a sheltered outdoor area so I could sit outside even when it was raining. The lodge was immaculately clean and very cute. You need some transport to get around, but it’s still a short drive to the main areas. Feel like it was very good value for money here as well!

The Bungalows are between the main island road and the beach so expect some traffic noise.
