Check in felt unwelcoming, instructions on what to do upon arrival were not clear. Doors to the owners property were wide open, revealing a messy room with stuff all over the place. We ended up knocking on their front door which Rebekah slowly came to while still on the phone to someone. The actual unit was not what I expected - there’s 4 studios side by side, directly under their house.
It lacked the privacy and quiet we had expected, with voices being heard from upstairs and in neighbouring rooms, including during the night/early morning when trying to sleep. We could also hear footsteps upstairs.
Sleeping was very uncomfortable as the mattress was incredibly firm and lacked support, waking up with bad backs. There is no air con in the room which is very air tight - it remained stuffy even with the window open. The fan helped a little.
The studio itself had some upmarket finishes with nice aesthetics - the shower in the bathroom was excellent and would be the best thing about this place with its size and two shower heads. However some finishes seemed impractical/unnecessary and a bit over the top, like the sink.
Walk to the beach was only a couple mins at max which was great, but could be a bit dodgey at times given there is no footpath for pedestrians, leaving you to walk right beside the main road into Kaiteri with lots of blind corners.
Really great complimentary breakfast items in the fridge which we utilised well.
Overall this place did not meet expectations given how it is advertised. Would only recommend this place if you needed somewhere to stay for a night or two max, as it was pretty uncomfortable and the whole experience rather unpleasant. Could probably get a similar experience staying somewhere cheaper.
