The hosts were incredibly kind & helpful. The location is good, walkable to Muri Beach, but having a car/scooter is probably better. The verandah is an excellent spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening G&T! ##### Rebecca Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Quality Inn Corner Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Corner-Brook-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Corner-Brook.h9937.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Athenes](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-Novotel-Athenes.h186388.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Brantford](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Brantford.h23674.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h36774901.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dorian, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-The-Dorian.h74821176.Hotel-Information) > > [Awesome Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-Hotels-Awesome-Hotel.h12884532.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Sirenis San Andres](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Andres-Hotels-Grand-Sirenis-San-Andres.h47010877.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Breeze Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Lagoon-Breeze-Villas.h3007255.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Fairmont-Le-Chateau-Frontenac.h12522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Cruz Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Island-Hotels.d6053670.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels.d10550.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Sharm El Sheikh (SSH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ssh/calgary-to-sharm-el-sheikh) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Chihuahua (CUU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cuu/calgary-to-chihuahua) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Sault Ste.
