South Coast Retreat

South Coast Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice and clean tent. Spotless clean. Good amenities. A fully equipped kitchen. A big bathroom. The price per night for Greenwell point is way too high. I don’t think it’s worth $270 a night for a tent in a place where there’s nothing to do, it’s not a tourist place, and there’s no bar/clubs/restaurants at all."
