We sadly did not have a good time here. But before I go into that, we stayed in the Wahoo, the two bedroom unit situated under the owners Paul & Brenda's home. It was a short 10-15 minute walk to town which was great for booking tours, or going to restaurants.
The unit was clean and basic as Brenda had described it. No problem there.

The Wahoo apartment consists of outside a small front verandah with swing seat, overlooking the neat garden to the road and old harbour beyond. Inside a large open area with lounge suite and coffee table, dining setting for 4 near the small, but functional...
