Enjoyed my stay here in the back mini-cottage. The family is very kind, trustworthy, helpful, and flexible. The daughter Booboo and son Mav are such sweethearts! Also, ideal location for the north shore.
I used the moped the majority of the time and it was very useful. Although, I would recommend getting a car. I came during rainy season, but there can be random rains all year round, making a moped not the safest/most reliable sole option for getting around.
My only “areas of improvement” is there is no lock for the back cottage once you leave. I trust the family completely, but when everyone is gone from the house, having a lock for the cottage would ensure possession safety. Also, there are screens for all the windows, but there is no way to close the windows. You will hear all the noises of the roosters/animals throughout the night, during the storms/rains there is nothing to block the winds or cold air, and it prevents a level of privacy (especially for work).
