Quirky hostel with comfy rooms.

A bit off the main road. No coffee or tea facilities was a bit disappointing as location is very far from any cafe. No wifi

The staff were so jacked up and friendly and helpful! The Aircon was a life-saver! The facilities were so organised and functional! The property, views and scenery was breath-taking!

Nothing, I honestly can not fault anything!
