Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The Melville Turret is a classic turn of the century (1906) home that has been converted into a guest house. The sitting room, reception and dining room capture the elegant design of the period. I had a ground floor room. It was quiet, clean and simple. The room had hot water, wifi, cable and a small fridge. Breakfast was very good with a choice of a hot entre along with cold cereals, juice, coffee, tea and fruit. Presca is a delightful host and Coos the owner a wonderful conversationalist. It's a 5-15 min walk to nearby restaurants and shops depending on which way you go. Local tours can be arranged. Safe, clean, good value.
