    We stayed at Elite. Very good value for money and conveniently located near a Grace supermarket. We stayed here at the end of our trip, it was convenient to the airport and provided all the facilities we needed. Martin the caretaker and his family are friendly and helpful. The instructions on finding the homestay, including a video, are spot-on.
