Good location being a few kilometers from town but still on the main road. Quiet inside the room so no road noise to disturb you. Has all the amenities you need for your stay. Good view of the sea from the cabin.

Lovely location, hot coffee and art studio right next door or short stroll, beach access meters away once you cross the road. A beautiful safe place for solo female travellers. I'll be booking again soon!
