Is the pool suitable for children?

Yes; it has floats and toys. However, recent guests reported green water and debris (hair and sand), which caused itchy skin. Check current pool condition before arrival.

Can I cook for a large group?

Limited. The kitchen has only a small pot and rice cooker. Guests cooking for more than four people should bring larger pots and pans or eat nearby.

What's included in the facilities?

Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, fenced private pool, BBQ equipment, microwave, chiller, outdoor dining table, prayer mat, and tents on request. Parking is for one car.

What recent reviews say

Families who visit regularly praise the private pool, spacious outdoor area, and affordable rates, often returning multiple times. However, recent guests report serious issues: green, smelly pool water, inadequate kitchen gear for cooking, last-minute cancellations, and expensive damage charges without clear justification.

Recent shift: Clear downward shift in recent months. Older reviews (11 months ago and earlier) consistently praised the property and owner. The most recent reviews (4 and 10 months ago) report pool neglect, cancellations, and safety/damage charge disputes.

Most stays centre on cleanliness and comfort at a fair price, with repeat visitors praising the attentive owner and easy parking. A handful of guests reported pest problems and one bathroom smell, though these appear isolated.
