This
Guest House is a couple of kilometres out of town
in a quiet and pretty area. Guests can be picked
up in town at their office (the owners run a trucking
business). The accommodation (2 rooms) and common
areas are all clean and new as it was only opened
in September 2005. There is a self catering kitchen
which is clean and well-equipped and the bathroom
is well appointed with a western-style toilet
and a shower. It does not have a generator so
lighting is with lanterns only. The gardens surrounding
the guest house are lovely and there is a pleasant
Haus Win for sitting and enjoying the garden.
