This guest house is like a hostel in many ways but with the creative use of one lot not a huge property as I thought it would be. We had booked a tent experience which is a screen tent, holding a bed, night tables, lamp and fan, below a roof and side walls. Our unit had a whole side section about 6ft without a barrier so we could see to the next tent, wooden slats around the tent are not together which lets air flow in but gives little privacy. The gate style wooden door into our tent was not wide enough to close so no privacy to the common area. There is a communal kitchen for storing and prepping your food. What surprised me is how quiet the place was and by 8:30-9 people had gone to bed. Young people were very welcoming to us 70 seniors. Two single toilets and two showers communal. Across the road from the beach and a few minute walk to the bus that takes you to the ferry, IGA and other beaches and trails.

I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not my usual style of accommodation but so glad we stayed here. It reminded me of school camps with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, happy memories. Communal living room areas, pool table, pizza oven. But the best place to be is spending a lazy afternoon or evening on the deck right opposite the beach chilling, socialising and having good fun with other guests and staff. And the bed was very comfortable. Ian, the owner, has a wealth of local knowledge and will give you great tips to find hidden gems on the Island. They also do car hire with very prompt pick up from the barge/ferry. It really is a great place to stay.
