Cozy spot within walking distance of the Cliff Walk and the Old Harbour. The room was spacious and comfy with a gloriously huge shower and a private patio. Owners Anna Marie and Dave are a delight and served us a delicious breakfast. We wish we had been able to stay longer.

Nice / clean place but lacking atmosphere
Room is clean / confortable and only a short drive from the city center (less than 5 minutes by car). However, this place lacks atmosphere and rules for check-in times are too strict...

Super Haus
Das Frühstück war super lecker.Es gab frisches Obst, frischen Saft, Pfannkuchen oder Hühnereier mit Speck. Alles war ganz frisch und super lecker und es gab selbst gebackenes Brot dabei. Die Leute im House sind alle freundlich und bei der Planung unserer Aktivitäten sehr hilfreich mit guten Tips.
