Sunshine Lodge: Your home away from home

We had a wonderful stay !!! book this place ! -A LOT of space (we were 4) -beautiful outside space with hammock -amazing view -quiet and safe location -very cheap price for the great quality -nice breakfast items (eggs, milk, oat…) were given to us

-We found mouse poop (but it happens, it’s not a big deal at all) -you need a car to get there -the owners are austalians (we would had prefer to book from locals) -the AC was broken in two rooms but the reponsable found a solution that made us happy

As soon as we arrived, we felt at home. The cottage we stayed in had everything we needed and the hosts were veey easy to communicate with. The view at the lodge is wonderful. We were happy to just sit on the porch and spend time there. The property also has so many different fruit trees around. It wasn't quite the season for most when we we were there (end April), but we did get to try a papaya that was just about to reach it's peak. The lodge also provided eggs, milk, bread and oats, which was a nice plus. We were also located pretty close to 2 beautiful local beaches. Will definitely consider returning when I am in Mobay next.

As mentioned in the description, the road isn't ideal to travel, but it's well worth it as long as you don't need to be going up and down the hill multiple times a day. We also ran out of water on our second night there. MJ and Richard did their best to make sure we were ok, but we did need to wait until the next day to have water again.

Wonderful & spacey place with a magnificent view over the ocean! It's sited high up on the hill, so you can enjoy the soft breeze from the sea which felt so refreshing and comfortable at night. The interior is all functional and in great condition. The surroundings are very peaceful and calm, so you have to go a bit down the hill if you need anything, but this means that you really can relax and enjoy the quiet. Outside there's a nice green yard where you can sit and chill. The hosts are also great and really did their best to help us enjoy our time!

The location scenery, accommodation and the quietness, hospitality is great.

Their was not anything to deslike

Pleasant views from this remote location in the hills. Good air conditioning in the bedroom. Excellent shower, plenty of hot water but tap dripping continuously. Bread, eggs, milk in fridge for breakfast.

Only access to the property was via a severely potholed road. Electric security gates were inoperative and could not be locked. Property was therefore insecure. The property is a converted garage and felt like one, despite having a verandah added to give an appearance of rustic charm. The windows (wooden louvres, no glass) could not be locked and it was possible to open them from outside - insecure. Steel security bars on the inside of the windows added to the feeling of insecurity. One burner of the gas hob was crudely taped over with duct tape; the oven should clearly have been repaired instead. Safety issue. Kettle had been used for making tea and was full of decomposing leaves. Should have been picked up on inspection and cleaned. Bed was unacceptably tiny. US and UK double beds are 4’ 6” wide. European double beds are 4’ 7” wide. The bed at Sunshine Lodge was 4’ 0” wide!!! Not suitable for 2 adults!! Unable to get TV to work despite our own experience with the same FLOW TV in our own property in Manchester, Jamaica. Calls to owner and owners’ agent at 9:00 PM went straight to voicemail and were left unanswered. Unable to contact owners until we were leaving the following day.

Quite, clean, overlook the ocean

It was quiet. The host was very hospitable. The view was great. The location was very convenient, there is a restaurant, supermarket, pharmacy and gas station very close. All in all it was really home away from home.

What breakfast? There was eggs and bread I was unaware that breakfast came as part of the package. But it’s all good, everything else about the property made up for it.

Can improve on the Wi-Fi service Pots are aluminum. No corkscrew
