“I liked the fact that the accommodation was close to all amenities (shopping centre, restaurants, beach etc...), the bus passes right in front. I like a hard bed and this was the case so I slept very well.”

This is a National Trust building, very old with a quiet and colonnial vibe. It features jealousy windows throughout which makes it cool and airy. The verandah overlooks the gardens and a huge front lawn, perfect for badminton or croquet. Large, very old tamarind trees shield us from the sun in the evening, and make the verandah a oil and quiet place to chill out. There is a small library so you can sit and read at leisure. You are welcome to use the kitchen, (to make coffee in the morning), patio & living room. There are lots of magazines and books you may borrow, so enjoy!
I am a graphic designer who enjoys meeting people, photography, pottery and travelling. I myself, have travelled to Asia, Europe and South America. So, I enjoy sharing stories of my travels ... however, I respect your privacy. You privacy and comfort are my main concern. If you need anything please let me know.
I am located on the main road but set back from the road, across the street from the beach. This is a quiet gated community with some offices and residences. The old trees keep the street noise out and offer lots of shade. At night it's so quiet you can hear the waves from across the road; the symphony of the night - crickets, whistling frogs and feel the gentle breezes. This apartment is not for everyone. Only those who appreciate the history and colonial architecture of old will like the quaint atmosphere. The high ceilings, louvered windows and thick coral stone walls all attribute to the old-world ambiance. The walls are adorned with all original artworks done by the resident artist, Kristine, who is also the host. They are available for purchase.
