convenient locationawkward site accessdirty shower facility
the location was convenient to the airport and check-in was easy. the coffee from the shop was just what i wanted.
The park seemed like a letdown compared to another stay. the sites were awkward to access. i had to wait at the entrance parked halfway in the main road while someone held up the entry deciding to extend his stay. the shower facility was dirty. It seemed only the floors were washed.

The BBQ area was good and laundry facilities worked well.
The bed was horrible. There was a split in the centre. The fridge was not clean either. Old food sat in the freezer. These things made my stay unpleasant

Enchanting Cabin Stay Near the Airport

convenient locationeasy check-inpeaceful retreatmeticulous maintenance
I found the location convenient, especially with its proximity to the airport. My late check-in was straightforward and hassle-free. The little cabins were more than adequate for a short stay. The garden's meticulous maintenance added to the overall charm.
I noticed a slight inconvenience. There seemed to be a lack of designated smoking areas which occasionally led to smoke drifting near open windows.
