The homestay includes a living room and a bathroom with a hair dryer and a shower. A flat-screen TV with cable channels is offered.

The homestay offers a continental or buffet breakfast. The host can cook up a BBQ, breakfast, wine and cheese platter or Mexican banquet.

Jaqueline and David were amazing hosts. She worked in hospitality, and it shows: There was a lot of attention to detail, and everything you could possibly wish for. From perfectly arranged choices of three body soaps, to a little coffee machine with lots of flavours, to a fresh papaya on the bench. The room was tidy, with a comfortable bed. As a pet friendly place, I met a few fellow travellers with their cute dogs during my stay.
