The friendliness of the staff from the first day to the last was very welcoming. You felt they knew you. The accommodation was more than expected, a loaf of bread, a bunch of bananas, as well as jam, marmalade, butter was all in the unit on arrival. The wifi was fickle. We were lucky on our day of departure the staff let us carry on using our unit until the afternoon, thank you

The scenery is stunning, and the accommodation is excellent. The staff are especially warm and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn’t cool properly, making the room quite hot. If this could be improved, the experience would be perfect.

I personally loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy spots. I am not so sure that my hubby felt the same!!You need a car or scooter - which are cheap as chips. The staff could not have been more lovely - they are superb. I will be back with the grand children.

I liked the view of muri lagoon from our studio and that it was situated off the main road. However, it is not a quiet place to stay as it faces the lagoon and on a windy day (which we had many during our stay) it howled through the studio. Roosters and barking dogs also made it a challenge to sleep. Ear plugs were essential.
