It's just a lovely spot. Everything was clean and tidy. It has modern facilities and is very comfortable for a small studio. And the view is sensational.
Owners responded very quickly to a couple of questions.

Peaceful location
We had a very nice stay here. The studio we stayed in was facing the water and it was nice to spend some time on the verandah watching boats go by. The room was clean, had everything we needed and the area was quiet so we managed to relax and sleep well.

Haven by name, haven by nature.
We loved our couple of nights and will definitely look to return. Staying in the studio was like staying on a boat but without the rocking. Very private and relaxing with very friendly and helpful hosts.
