"My stay was for 2 nights. Very spacious unit, well set out. Very clean, adequate cutlery and crockery. Well stocked tea / coffee facilities. Bed comfortable, choice of several pillows. Problem with the noisy air conditioning. No television in the bedroom. Bathroom had a shower over the bath, but bath floor Very slippery when wet. Needs a shower mat to prevent slipping. Body wash only available over the sink. The shower facilities had 3 containers of which 2 contained shampoo, and 1 with conditioner. No body wash. Even using the shampoo in the shower over the bath made the bath floor even more slippery. Very disappointed that the restaurant was closed for both days of my stay, I e. apparently closed Monday's and Tuesday's all of August. Small Breakfast box offered for both mornings. Staff very attentive. For stays longer than 1 night, you need to request extra cleaning and towels. No safe in unit. All in all, quite reasonable. Will definitely stay there again."
