There were lots of animals about so it felt homely - if you don't... More

This is far by the best accomodation I have stayed in. I have stayed in many 5* hotels and resorts around the world and I would far far rather to come back here instead!

My friends and I stayed here for 6 nights in early January. At first the owner was really friendly and welcoming but after checking in that stopped. The staff are grumpy. The whole place is a building site and the builders start at 7am in the morning making the bungalows shake. The bungalows are ok but small with hard beds.... More

The staff are pleasant enough and the guy who owns it seemed very friendly! The location is about a 10 minute walk to the main strip but that's great and... More
