A good place to stay, much larger than we expected. Basic but good, the only thing that lets it down is it feels like the bathroom is from the 80s and needs replacing.

Great stay

This place is a pleasant surprise - fantastic location, very comfortable and good service from Waves reception staff. There are no fly screens so we couldn’t open any windows due to the flies in summer. Aircon is very old and noisy (but works). Overall we had a comfortable stay.
