Visiting tips & what to bring

Being a once-a-day-limited rental, advance booking is essential. It is basically room-only, with meals being self-catering or BBQ, or use of nearby shops. As the nearest supermarket, convenience store and eatery presume travel by car, preparing a hire car is recommended. As the private pool is outdoors, take ample care of safety at night or with infants. Being a nature-rich location facing the lagoon, insect-repellent measures are reassuring depending on the season. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is 10:00.

For families with small children

Being a whole-house rental where you can spend time without minding other guests, it suits families with small children. With a kitchen and washer-dryer, it is an environment easy to self-cater and handle baby food. However, the private pool is outdoors with limited safety measures such as fencing, so care is needed not to take your eyes off children aged 0 to 6. Note also that the surroundings are a natural environment with few shops and presume travel by car.
