Comfortable, private. Shops nearby within walking distance. Market right across the road. Awesome pool. Clean and tidy. Outdoor toilet. Just some suggestions - outdoor shower. Screen for door/ doors, so to leave door open and animals don't come in the house, namely chickens. ?Barbecue as oven not working.Overall lovely peaceful home.
