Amadiya Port Arthur Villas

Amadiya Port Arthur Villas

8/10 Good
"Great location and layout, fire pit and bbq a nice touch if you want to be social. Everyone v respectful of being quiet so made for peaceful spot. No reception over weekend but did respond quickly when I emailed and there is a number to call. Please get new bedside lamps! They are rechargeable but run out fast and are too low and dim to use for reading in bed, which was a shame. No face cloths, might have been an oversight so improvised as not worth troubling a remote reception as presumed would not be able to access laundry. A peaceful stay at a good location."
