Highly Recommended - Wonderful Hospitality
This place was perfect. More than I expected. The hosts were so wonderful and welcoming. They also offered some recommendations on things to do in the area. The space itself was comfortable and so nice to hang out. I had to make myself leave because I was so happy there. There is a bar, couches with a fireplace, a cabana type area, a pool, and the breakfast and the breakfast area was so cute as well. I highly recommend this place. It gives the warm feeling of a happy home as opposed to staying in a hotel where you can never find this type of warmth.

Delightful, comfortable, clean guest houses
HoneyPot guest house is a dream location with a separate porch for each guest room, lovely honey-scented bath soaps, and a pool and garden pathway. The space is gated and guarded and feels peaceful and secluded though it is close to malls and airport.
