Not good by

This guest house is for sale at the moment. Therefor the owner doesn't maintain the house anymore. Electricity is in a dangerous shape!

Enjoyed our stay by

The owner was pleasant and the place lived up to its standard.

Enjoyable by

I enjoyed it, it was like an upmarket backpackers, the walls are paper thin so be prepared to listen to people in the lounge conversing, if your room is adjacent to the lounge.

Never again by

We booked for 2 nights but ended up only staying for 1 night. The photos you see is certainly not nearly depicting the actual state of this place. You can see that nobody maintains it. The shower was full of mold and above in the ceiling with a light hanging out ... leaking loo ... the shower basin was wobbly. The bed was so uncomfortable, half the light bulbs were not working, TV reception very bad, noise from the road and the managers barking dogs ensured a restless uncomfortable night. Not recommended at all!
