Loved the large spacious rooms. Lovely bay windows. Renovated bathroom was good but could have had more bench and hanging space. Bar and restaurant were fantastic.

Beautiful location with some of the cleanest apartments I’ve ever stayed in. Just a short 5 minute walk to Whiterocks Beach, felt very secure and luxurious throughout. A truly relaxing and high quality stay
