Located near the university, this pretty spot has a lovely indigenous garden (featuring the Mackaya Bella plant) and stylish rooms in a relaxed home-style environment. The owners, Nicki and Mike, are delightful and whip up a delicious breakfast each morning in the sun-drenched common area. Special amenities, such as an airport shuttle service, make this place extra special.
The budget single rooms have a minimum three-night stay, but are very well appointed and a great choice for travellers on a budget who want to avoid the backpackers scene. There is also a self-catering family suite. Reserve ahead as it’s popular with university-associated guests.
