Great place to stay after our caving adventure. Wonderful host and great breakfast included. Only bummer was the parking situation. If you have much luggage it’s a hassle to carry it up the stairs, and parking was a small distance from the rooms.

I was warm without touching the air conditioning. While the parking was not right by the unit it used, there was good parking. I had no trouble walking up the sloping driveway and the steps to access my accommodation. Others might find this a problem.
