You need a car when you stay at this property. The wife and husband owners are so nice and helpful to show the kitchen. There is a professional kitchen all equipped that guests can use until 10pm. The view from my room was seaside and wonderful

The owner lady and her are delightful. The room is facing the sea which is creating dramatic atmosphere. Just the stairs are a bit hard to carry luggage’s, but the owner’s son gave us big help to carry the cases for us. Overall fantastic experience to stay in Shari.

My partner and I planned on camping and the campsites had closed for the season, so we went looking for options. This hotel was great! We ended up staying an additional night here, and plan to incorporate it into trips to the area in the future. The family that ran the hotel were wonderful and patient with the language barrier at times. We hope to stay again!

Much better than I expected. Rooms were clean and seemed renovated. Beautiful view from rooms.
Room like a hotel, facilities and convenience of hostel with a large common kitchen and dining area.
Staff were helpful.
Not quite in town (a few minutes drive), but this made for a beautiful sea view.

A truly awesome oasis on the edge of town, with superb views over the bay, and lovely owners who go out of their way to help you. The other guests were also friendly, and the set-up of the open kitchen where you can prepare your own meals is a bonus. Actually the best bonus was the free coffee available 24/7. That was a blessing to the two drowned rats who made it to the hotel in a torrential downpour…
You would be hard-pressed to find better accommodation on the peninsula, and far less likely to meet nicer people. 5 big stars.

Staff did not bother to share about the more convenient way to move luggage to room during checking in. Generally not helpful.

C'est vraiment un hôtel minimaliste : la chambre est minuscule, la salle de bains microscopique, l'équipement réduit à la plus simple expression. Vraiment cher pour ce que c'est.

Nous avons la vie magnifique par notre fenêtre ! On peut utiliser la cuisine et la salle commune pour manger, boire, discuter, etc. J’adore le concept de ce lieu. Je recommande fortement 😊
