Deserves a much higher rating on Booking. Lovely and welcoming staff. The owner is very responsive. Location is right in the heart of Stonetown, so it’s easy to walk everywhere, but still quiet. Large rooms and private bathroom was clean with hot water. Excellent value for money. The owner kindly arranged a very early morning taxi and checked if everything was going well. A very caring man. I would definitely stay here again. Google maps has it in the wrong place, so you need to head for the Hindu temple or Secret Garden.

Top notch for the location. It is extremely close to the ferry station and has many restaurants in the neighborhood. In fact the breakfast here was very good too. For the price you pay, it is a great deal. The mantra of the guest house is healthy, green living and they have actually created the decor with recycled products which looked very cool.
