Comfortable Guest House tucked away
Very nice room, very comfortable bedding, and the host is so hospitable and friendly. Everything is very well organized, clean, and even slippers are provided so that guests leave their shoes at the door. The whole place is spotless and the kitchen is very well equipped. Be aware that there is nothing in the area (other than a restaurant that serves lunch & dinner but NOT breakfast), so if you get stuck there with no food, you will go hungry. There are no food options for many kilometers.
