Creator's Key Takeaways

Air conditioning here at the front and it worked brilliantly. Uh, no problems adjusting the temperature, turning it on, leaving it on, turning it off.

The balcony, whilst it's got the two, uh the two chairs here and the little table, uh we haven't actually spent a lot of time out here because what's been happening is with the uh the sea mist.

Overall, bathroom was fine. Uh, no real issues in terms of uh its cleanliness. It was clean as they always are in here.

It is only a couple of little minor things. Y um but overall okay. Yeah. Yep. It's a a good cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own adapters and chargers with USB ports, as the cabin's USB ports may be broken.
Consider packing a shower head adapter if you prefer different spray options.
Be aware that balcony may accumulate sea mist and moisture, so plan accordingly.
