The room is excellent in space, tidiness, and I love the front door balcony very much! We enjoyed the breakfast everyday outside for our 2 night stay. It is located next to a wheat farm and we observed a lota of good birds around the house! Also, the sheeps, alpacas, deers are all so cute! They all have a name but I forgot their names now.. When you got some feed for them, they were all look crazy and licking your hand.

    Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
