The accommodation category boutique home is a funky fusion of a small hotel, a Bed & Breakfast, and somebody’s home. I actually live here with my family and my crew.

We define the concept of home as a cheerful and happy place to live, laugh and learn. We want our home to be a safe space where you are loved, respected, and cared for.

We keep all bathrooms well stocked with free soap, shampoo, shower gel, and allergy tested hand disinfectant.

This is a historic villa, mind you, designed and constructed as a domicile for one family only.

However, you will find that the kind of travellers who gravitate towards our house tend to be considerate, respectful, and generally pleasant to be around.

Yes, parking is free, and you can leave your vehicle right outside our main door.
