Breakfast could have been better and more varied
9.0 / 10.0
Comfortable, spotlessly clean accommodation with glorious views and friendly, helpful hosts. Breakfast foods are provided in a big communal kitchen for you to help yourselves, and this suited us.
Bathroom was like a hospital one, which felt a little strange, but provided everything we needed.

Very friendly owner. went out of his way to make us feel welcome and to give us full use of the facilities.
which were very good. Very clean. Good location for getting to the whale watching. In a very nice residential estate.
Had the feel of a care home - but we understand and respect the inclusivity approach. Other than that, the weather was terrible - can't blame anyone for that!
8.0 / 10.0
The staff/owners were really nice. The room was clean and tidy. Had everything needed for our stay.
Other clients were friendly and thoughtful ie kept kitchen clean and tidy. We all pitched in together. Good choice of food and hot beverages for breakfast.
Realizing we were a late booking our room was quite small. Weather was piping hot and this made the room feel even smaller. Did have ceiling fan and A/C which kept the room cooler all night. No window so had to keep the ranch slider open all night. Unfortunate that the only way to access the kitchen was by going outside and down external stairs.

Big bathroom, lots of room to move around inside room, big balcony with nice view.
Beds were extremely firm, but this was because they are a disability style bed.
9.0 / 10.0
The entire facility is wheelchair-friendly, a rare benefit if disabled. The owner also runs a wheelchair distribution business and has stock on hand if required, which we did as one of the party had injured her knee.
Other rooms' plumbing is a bit obvious if used.
8.0 / 10.0
Great hospitality. Nice place, clean, quiet.
Breakfast was ok, but not a overwealming rich selection.
But thats a german thing, just different needs for a breakfast I guess 😉
10.0 / 10.0
comfy bed, views over golf course and to mountains, communications with owner, big kitchen/dining/lounge/balcony/do it yourself breakfast, only 3 mins drive to town. Spotlessly clean.
The weather!
