The owners were very nice, helpful, and friendly. The facility was clean, had all the basics, a pool, and laundry. The location was nice, very close to tahunanui beach. The studio room was simple and clean with a comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is perfect—nestled in a peaceful area yet conveniently close to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. Whether you’re looking to explore or just enjoy some downtime, it’s an ideal spot. The accommodation itself is immaculate. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail was evident in every corner. It’s well-equipped with all the amenities you could need, from a fully functional kitchen to cozy furnishings, making it feel like a home away from home. The atmosphere is tranquil, perfect for unwinding after a busy day or for a fully relaxing getaway. What truly made the stay special was the host. Their warm, welcoming nature and attentiveness ensured that everything ran smoothly. They were always available to answer questions or provide recommendations but respected our privacy, striking the perfect balance. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a serene, comfortable, and well-maintained place to stay. It’s clear that every effort has been made to create a space where guests can truly relax and feel cared for.

This place was a gem. Now I didn't need it to be close to anything because I had a car and was using this a place to relax and lay my head. But for the price and space, it exceeded my expectations. And the staff was super helpful and attentive as well.

Located in a pleasant neighborhood, this is a low-key hotel managed by a couple who clearly care for the property and the people staying there. Our room was clean and tidy, and recently remodeled. We did not get a chance to use the saltwater pool, but did appreciate the sustainability measures taken throughout the property. Checking in and out was a real pleasure, as was the rest of our stay. Would be happy to return!
