I arrived in need of a couple of days solitude by the sea as you do. The outside of the lodge looked much as it did online, but you never know quite what a place is going to be like till you step inside. Everything is clean, tidy and well looked after. It's the little touches - shower gel in the shower, a nice cushion on the bed, clean white sheets, flowers in the dining room. I had a sunny, single room with a sea view, a perfect spot to read a book from the shelf downstairs and watch the sunset over Mana Island. The host was super responsive, friendly, and helpful, but I also felt quite comfortable just being there doing my thing. I would totally go back for the same experience, except maybe book the sunny double room next time!
