“The newly built units impress with their modern comfort and spaciousness, a thoughtful design evident in details like the well-appointed bathroom. While the kitchen and boma offer practical amenity, an unwelcoming staff interaction and gate issues detracted from the overall ease of stay. Yet, the tranquil garden setting and self-catering value remain considerable draws.”
