Prime location, walk to everything, waterfront cottages. Can’t beat the location. Staff are warm and friendly. Not very quiet or private after dusk, if that’s what you require. Cottages are we’ll equipped but not up to date in decor and fittings, if that’s important to you. It’s definitely a great once-experience.

We stayed in the pawana cottage and it was so cozy and cute! The location was perfect, less than a minute walk from the ferry and close to a lot of great restaurants. The staff was friendly and accommodating and they truly are pet friendly. We brought our two dogs and they accommodated us with dog bowls, beds, and a welcome bag for our pups. We will definitely go back.

We stayed in the Upper Mermansion for our Honeymoon September 2011 and it was amazing. The Cottages are located right in the main heart of town near all the restaurants and shops. It was so nice to relax on our balcony with a glass of wine overlooking the harbor and then walk into town for dinner. We also enjoyed the complimentary bicycle rentals and shuttle rides across the island. It made it very easy to vacation without worrying about a car rental. The concierge was very helpful and accommodating. Overall we had an excellent experience and felt very pampered. Can't wait to go back!
