"A great place to stay in the summer."

"Although the resort looks lovely it was almost impossible to find. The dirt road in to the grounds is treacherous with the worst yet to come…it was abandon. We searched for employees for 80 minutes with no luck before driving away. It was quite the adventure…one that I’d prefer not to relive"

"We had a wonderful week in this property, set in a beautiful garden with private outdoor eating area and pool in a shared area of the garden. Our host and his wife were very warm and welcoming.

"We enjoyed our stay here it was very different which gave it a lot of charm. Located opposite a large supermarket which was a positive as it had basic cooking facilities. Breakfast was very good. The grounds were beautiful and the walk into the centre of town was probably about 2 kms but an easy and picturesque walk. Just a few cons - no signs for reception so we ended up knocking on the door of the private residence, we booked a double bed but had twin beds, it was very hot in the room and even...
