Our Rooms

What type of rooms do you offer?
We offer two dorms – a girls only and a mixed, a private double/twin bed room with en-suite and kitchenette with private garden area, a private double/twin bed room with en-suite, and a private double/twin bed with shared bathroom and private outside area. Our private rooms sleep 2 adults per night. 

If I am staying in a dorm, do I have to share a room with the opposite sex?
No. If a female guest chooses to stay in the Girl’s only dorm, you will only be staying with fellow females. Male guests, who choose to stay in a dorm, will have to stay in the mixed dorm upstairs.  If there are no beds in the Girls only dorm, you will have an option of staying in the mixed dorm, or your own private room if it meets your budget. Our mixed dorms are safe and there have been no issues in the past with having male and female guests sharing together. 

Should I bring my own sleeping bag or bedding?
No. We ask that our guests refrain from bringing any bedding or sleeping bags to the accommodation for hygiene and health reasons. We provide you with comfy mattresses, pillows, and bedding. For private rooms, we also provide fresh clean towels for guests.
