Our stay in The Flora MacDonald Apartment was amazing and we'll be back.
Our stay in the Flora MacDonald Apartment was tidy, clean, everything was there to enjoy our stay, including the red wine, the surrounding area was so quiet & picturesque, we partly came for peace & quiet and that is what we got, we wish we could've stayed longer. It's a home from home, could not fault the place at all, great shower, but we must stay longer next time.

Really nice place in a great location
This is a very comfortable place for a family of 4. There is ample room and the cleanliness is also good. The washer and dryer came in very handy during our trip.
Just to set expectations - this is definitely not 4 or 5-star quality accommodation.
