Cosy little guesthouse

Liked: Cosy little guesthouse, you've got all you need for a comfortable stay: kitchen, clean bathroom, cosy backyard and parking.
Disliked: Little noisy as the walls aren't thick but it didn't trouble us as the other guests were respectful and didn't talk till late.

Never again

Liked: Appaling behaviour by the live on staff member. Reminiscent of someone coming off steriods or meth or something in movies. I have no idea what was actually wrong with her but definately not right in the head.DO NOT STAY HERE.
Disliked: The behavior exhibited by the live in staff was absolutely disgusting. Intimidating violent and inappropriate. If this wasn't the case it would be a very good backpackers. But it's not a safe place so long as that person's still there
