The absolute BEST

We could not have been happier with our accommodation. It surpassed all our expectations. It was spacious, private, comfortable, super clean and in such a great location. We have never in our travels felt so fortunate to find our perfect accommodation. Thanks to Mike and EddieC who were fantastic and so helpful.

Great Location

Well appointed and comfortable bungalow. A very short walk to Charlie's with great atmosphere and live music. Very close to beach and snorkelling. The only downside is we couldnt sit outside because of the ever-present mosquitoes.

A perfect stay

I had the pleasure of staying in the charming Lyas bungalow. It was perfect in every way. Every detail from the cozy furnishings to the thoughtful decor, give a sense of comfort and relaxation. The personal touches in the space made me feel welcome and put a smile on my face. In terms of practicality the bungalow had everything I needed. Definitely a bungalow that I will return to and that I highly recommend. Thank you!

Property is located good. You have to ask for fresh linen if you stay long! Or get new towels. Fan wasn’t working properly. For the rest really good.

Our October 2019 Vacation

From the moment we stepped thru the door we fell in love with this beautiful little bungalow, our home away from home. It was exactly like the photos and was so clean it was just lovely. The location was fab, we especially loved Charlie's across the road who do a mean as fish sandwich. The beach also across the road was stunning with 1 of the best snorkeling spots on the island about 200 meters up the road. I would highly recommend this place to anybody without any hesitation.

A real gem!

This cute bungalow exceeded all our expectations. It was a great quiet location but close to a fabulous part of the reef & very close to Charlie’s for supper in the evening. The accomodation was spotless & we appreciated the extra touches of fruit, milk water & juice. We could fault nothing! Thank you Eddie!

This is a great little spot, down a little inland road so it's sheltered from the wind a little. The unit is well equipped with everything you need, and tropical plants are cleverly placed all around the bungalow for maximum privacy. We had a great time, good value for money. And the Pina Colada's at Charlie's bar just across the road were yummy.

The property is new so everything was very clean and fresh.

The property is new so everything was very clean and fresh. It had a very well equiped kitchen and BBQ to self-cater. All windows and doors have mosquito netting so the air runs nicely through the property. Gardens surrounding bungalows lovely. It takes approx 2 mins to walk to lovely Titikaveka Beach and Charlie's Cafe for delish fish sandwiches. We walked into Muri which took approx 15-20 mins however bus can be flagged down on the road near property. Great stay. Good value. I recommend.
