10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
Great situation. Suited the whole family
9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
We loved the view from the balcony across the bay and the visiting Kaka that perched on the balcony every day while we were there. The pick-up and drop-off to the "airport departures" was also very much appreciated
7 / 10Good·Oct 2026
Location is very handy to town. The host couple were very friendly and helpful.
No cancellation policy and very inflexible about this.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The location and ease of walking around the island
No room cleaning and the internet was quite bad
