Reviewed May 7, 2026This place is a hidden gem. It is so beautiful and well maintained. The room service to make up the beds and tidy up was such a nice touch. The beautiful ponds and all the ducks were charming. We loved our stay and the effort made by the staff to make our stay super enjoyable?
10/10
Reviewed Mar 23, 2026The property is quiet and peaceful with wonderful views from the apartment. It is conveniently located near to restaurants and malls. The rooms are cleaned everyday and the manager is easily accessible and provides a lot of information prior to arrival. The apartment is also well equipped for self catering and has an air conditioner.
The room is situated closest to the parking bay so you will, on the odd occasion, have other visitors walking past the apartment. There is shaded parking for about 2 vehicles so if those bays are full you need to park in the open (still inside the property). The driveway is steep but manageable. These are just minor points and should not deter you from booking a stay here.

Reviewed Jul 17, 2025The size of the room was big enough; the quality of items in the room makes it feel like home. Nothing is broken; it's as if the room is just prepared for your stay alone.
The pictures they have on the net don't do justice to the beautiful place they have. That place deserves an award for tourism.

We even booked another night as we weren’t ready to leave this place.
