I was able to check in early and check out late, which I very much appreciated. Communication throughout was easy and prompt, before and during my stay. It’s a comfortable, spacious suite attached to the hosts’ house, and sunshine pours in the front door, into the kitchen. The suite feels quite private, behind its own gate. Thoughtful extras include a bedside digital clock and reading lamps, tissues, luggage rack and even some adult colouring books and coloured pencils (which I confess to using once). There is a selection of interesting-looking books (take one/leave one). I liked the nautical décor (cleats for hooks, monkey fist, etc.), encouragement to recycle and compost and the environmentally friendly practices and cleaners. Although the fridge is a small one and there’s no oven, there’s a two-burner hotplate, microwave oven and toaster, and the kitchen cupboards are well equipped. No laundry access, but a clothes-drying rack is provided if guests are doing hand laundry. Buses into downtown are nearby, and it’s very close to the harbourside Westsong Walkway. I would certainly stay here again.
