Me and boyfriend stayed at Joyce's place during the long Easter weekend as our little staycation. We had a lovely time in the cozy designer room. So much so I felt more at home there than at my own home. The estate has a unique design, very unlike the typical condos or flats in Singapore.
We enjoyed the little cocoon even though our showers is in the common bathroom, we are pretty much left to our own device - a plus for people who likes their own privacy. Joyce was hospitable and attentive (she allowed us to drop our bags early so we can go island hopping baggage free). When we came home, she had moved the bags into our room.
There's a mini fridge in the cabinet with chilled water, toffees and orange juice.
The cable TV was handy to chill out after a warm bath and scrumptious dinner. Tanjong Katong was just a 5mins walk so we had access to a quality french bakery (Do Main), delish ribs with truffle fries and to-die-for salted caramel rainbow cake (Toothsome Cafe).
There are buses nearby that takes you into town or the nearest train station. If you are coming from the airport, taxis will be able to find their way into the estate too.
On the day we left, we met a young friendly golden retriever whom Joyce was babysitting. He was so sweet and affectionate, a reflection of his caregiver too.
You will definitely have a pleasant stay, for a distraction away your usual routine or a slice of Singapore's hippie suburb.
