The room is actually a small apartment under the host's house. While that may sound like a basement, the place has awesome views across the Painkalac Creek Estuary to the ocean and Split Point Lighthouse. Less than 1km walk to shopping strip with 3-4 eateries. Rooms were spacious. This is well-suited to a longer stay, though we slept there only one night. Hosts were gracious. When we arrived, we stopped across the street to read checkin requirements. While we were reading, Ross came across to us and welcomed us. We would happily stay again.
