Getting around

A good 50% of our guests choose to walk everywhere (and maybe take the odd taxi). Given that it is rare to be anywhere where this is possible, we find quite a lot of people think this is very refreshing - slows your pace from hectic city living. The walk into town is between 45-55 minutes and to the harbour area around 35-45 minutes. If walking is not your style, you can hire a car, hire bikes (motorised or not) and take taxis (always best to pre-book taxis as if it is quiet, they don't work very late). Friendly locals will often stop to offer visitors lifts, especially if you look like you are after a lift!

Interaction with guest

We live on site and are here to help with anything at all... from "borrowing" cooking spices to, recommending a restaurant or a nice walk. However, we will leave you to your own devices most of the time so don't be afraid to ask if you want help with anything.
