Quiet and remote, great for romantic weekend. Place needs some maintenance though. Shower head is falling of, water drain in bathroom sink and shower easily blocks. There is mould in the bathroom - ventilation doesn't work. Place needs deep cleaning. Bathroom 2/5., the rest of the cottage 5/5.

The host was very nice and met us upon arrival to guide us up the road to the accomodation as the road is narrow and had been washed out due to recent rains. Renters should be aware that rental cars can make it up to the property, but it is slow going and can be a challenging, rough ride especially in the dark. The woodstove was great and helped warm the accomodation while adding to the cozy atmosphere, but make sure to bring your own wood as none is provided. Also be aware that the tap water on location is not advised to drink, but the host provided a water jug for drinking purposes.

The cottage was well laid out but the doorstep had a deep bevel in it concealed by a coconut mat which was a hazard that could be easily rectified.Overall wee enjoyed every minute of our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
