Good Stay
Clean, comfortable, quiet unit, suitable for two oldies like us. Bit too far from town and water, but otherwise would recommend staying here.

Close to nature at geckos
We had a very enjoyable time. Lovely decor, very clean and everything you need. Situated in a residential area but close to the river for fishing, boating and walking, also near to the River Tavern. We had a lovely meal there.

Nice spot near the tavern
We stayed for a few weeks and was very comfortable, The main bedroom is a good size, the only negative was no wifi and hardly any phone service. Overall was a great stay.
