There is an odd nook which juts out into the yard and any passerby can see you sitting at the table. Shutters behind you will seal off this area from the rest of the bedroom. Odd but kinda fun if you are voyeuristic, right?

The room featured a queen bed, a twin bed, a small kitchenette, and a clean bathroom with shower. The kitchenette had a microwave, utensils, plates, and salt and pepper. The utensils came in handy to cut up some of Australia's delicious mangoes we had bought at the supermarket. The Inn is just blocks from the main city center.

Lovely clean, fresh, newly updated interiors with large spacious bedroom, a firm mattress (which we love) separate kitchen area and good sized bathroom with shower & plenty of pressure - woot woot. Coffee and tea provided as well as plates, bowls, utensils, mini-fridge and microwave etc The interiors of the room have brick on both sides and wood style floors. It really was very nicely done. This is a Mom & Pop establishment so you must check-in before 7pm, so if stopping here on a 2 day tour of the GOR as we did, make sure with your tour director, that they will have you there in time.

The room was actually really nice, and I did get a pretty decent sleep as well. I probably wouldn't recommend coming here during high season, or if you do make sure you book ahead, however my luck probably had more to do with me arriving in the middle of winter during the working week as opposed to any other time.

Great for a weekend but has all the amenities such as pool, tennis courts and bbq areas for longer stays. The owner is really lovely and keeps her office open all day if you'd like to grab a vhs (yep, but you also have a dvd player in your loft as well) or some birdseed to feed the friendly cockatoos and parakeets that will visit your patio.

We stayed in an ocean view room which was well kept however probably 20 years old so a slight refurbishment is due. The balcony balustrades are made from brick with a metal railing on top which blocks the view when you sit down. Other nearby, more modern accommodation uses glass balustrades. The kids enjoyed the indoor heated pool instead of the beach on cool weather days. Don't forget to pack your iPod dock (rooms facilities include a CD player).
