    The only thing that would be helpful would be a draining tray to go under the dishrack, preventing water accumulating on the lovely benchtop, making drainage easier.-But otherwise I couldn't fault the facilities.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay-Room facilities allowed for independence with the kitchenette.-Short walk to the shops, restaurants and bay.-Quiet-Balcony overlooks native bush and wildlife-Staff very friendly and extremely helpful, providing assistance as required.-

    To be completely honest. I couldn’t find any fault with the property.

    View from the room was exceptionally beautiful, peaceful and thoroughly enjoyed listening to the birds.

    Even though we had chosen a front unit it was quiet enough for this restless sleeper to sleep really well. Comfy beds and nicely presented. We used the BBQ to cook and it was clean too. Our host was friendly and full of good advice for dining and sightseeing.

    It only needs a safety bar rail, a grab handle, to help get in and out of the tub/shower. Otherwise, it is perfect!

    Loved the queen studio with the private patio! It was clean, functional, and we loved the location - it is at one end of town across from a fun beach bar - such a walkable quaint French harbor town! Loved the 2 hr Black Cat Nature Cruise through the long beautiful harbor, just a walk away to the pier, at the other end of town. You must stay at least two nights and will want to stay longer!
