What recent reviews say

Most guests find this house good value for a budget stay, appreciating its clean rooms, working kitchen, and waterfront position near the bay. Drawbacks include air conditioning only in one room, no hot water showers, and aging bathroom fixtures; reviewers suggest it suits families and local visitors who accept basic conditions for the low price.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

SuRi Homestay appeals to families wanting a large, quiet gathering space with a pool, BBQ area, and beach access under 200 metres away.
