Facilities are modern and mostly adequate, but several guests reported issues with hot water, shower pressure, and a lack of kitchen space and storage. These maintenance issues have led to a lower score in this category.

Wonderful location. We enjoyed our stay very much. The two things I would say that need improving are the shower and the cleanliness of the utensils and appliances in the kitchen. I had to wash everything thoroughly before using them. The pans were very dirty, oily and burnt. Mugs were also dirty. Unfortunately the owners canât rely on guests to leave the property clean. Therefore the utensils and appliances should be checked before the next guests arrive. Before I left, I made sure all the utensils I used were cleaned and ready for the next guests. Lastly, the shower has very poor pressure and it was very difficult to wash hair. Considering itâs an eco friendly place and they want us to use less water, this defeats the purpose.

Low pressure not what you want after a day full of activities. This might have been better if there was a bath but only a shower with low pressure.

Sometimes hot, sometimes luke warm. Shower was also a bit tricky to use and not very hot.
