The kitchen is the worst equipped I have ever seen. And also the laundry facilities were nothing I would want to wash or dry my clothes in. Our cabin was ok with a little fridge that was great. But everything was quite damp. All in all, I wouldn't go there again even though the location is beautiful. ##### Petra Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dhiraj 29 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It is undoubtedly a beautiful location with high cliffs in the backdrop. The only let-down was the bugs and mosquitos. We all had bug bites. An advice, use ample OFF bug spray all over including on tight clothes, keep an antiseptic lotion handy, including Calamine ($10 value) just to mitigate the risk of infection and subdue the itch. This will enable you all to enjoy it in full. For blow holes, go at the time of high tide, as they only work best with high tide and ruff seas. ##### Dhiraj Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy 17 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Room was comfortable and good value for money, it was on the small side. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be69b274-fe99-477a-bf02-47ecb3c750c5-1768692433089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b13d87b2-359e-4fa9-9b65-70c1e9098e68-1768692428381.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e177dcfd-509c-4644-888a-01a24079bf60-1768692432619.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a1d0aab7-bc96-4b8c-b812-c10d1d1c4b07-1768692433587.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sandy Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 14 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Great ##### William Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ross 19 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Great stay , the cabin was new and had amazing views ##### ross Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave 27 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Incredible location, great amenities. ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### VINITA 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Calm and quiet place with beach less than a three minute walk. ##### VINITA Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > -
