The carpet was not clean and the apartment was full of wired smell. The couch was dirty with stains on it. The property required some renovation with absolute carpet change.

Nice clean comfortable room with gorgeous view of the ocean. Loved watching the sunset while sipping champagne on the balcony. While the accommodation is quite dated, the kitchen and bathroom has been modernized. Only call out is the bedroom curtain is quite thin, my son struggled to go to sleep with the light shining right in. And the shampoo/soap dispensers were empty but we had brought our own anyway. Definitely would stay here again.

Amazingly convenient for a wedding over at Howick Historical Village, just a 10 min taxi or drive away. Staff was amazing and accomodating and there are two spots to grab food from on the same street. No complaints. Made our trip to the area easy.
