Definitely stay there, it’s great.

I would 100% go back and stay there again. It was nice to have a place that was so friendly, clean, comfortable and central. It was also nice to know that Elliot was willing to help us out on the island even when we had left his hotel. We spent 4 nights there and it was incredible. We could walk into town, it was quiet in the room, air con was on when we arrived and the wifi there is actually good. Then when we left at 4:30am to head to the airport Elliot surprised us there with breakfast and juice because he knew everything was shut and we’d be hungry. What an absolute legend.

This property only has a pool and no any other facilities. There is no convenient near by beach. I would recommend people to spend a bit extra money and go to a place where swimming and snorkeling is available.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Super close to town, so walking to tourist shopping or grocery shopping is only minutes away. Great views over the Water Front to Iririki Island. Self contained accommodation with separate bedrooms was great and had everything required to look after yourself if that's what you want. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Close to town, two bedrooms easy parking, rate for the amount of people we were was reasonable. The local staff were very nice and helpful but challenged by the issues we faced. Misleading about the internet which was a huge problem and it’s obvious that it was an ongoing matter. Even when I spoke to the owner about it he started to argue trying to blame the local IT guys for being slack. We asked for a router to be installed but still didn’t entirely fix the issue. So couldn’t really do my work but the rudeness of the owner was not worth the hassle to bring this up again. Has to remind the staff to clean the shower and toilets. The whole week none of the empty toiletries were thrown out from the bathroom! The location is great and the property needs some maintenance but is still worth the stay for the $$$$
