really good accommodation experience
inclusive drinksexcellent suiteshelpful ownersconvenient taxi
I found the drinks were all inclusive. This was fantastic. the suites in the house are very excellent, and i would certainly book one again. the owners were available and helpful.
while the taxi service was convenient at about 2 km from the waterfront, a car would still be helpful to move around.
