Galera Lodge & Cafe

Super Service nettes Personal

Beautiful property, location very good for what I needed. I even kept extending day by day and when I couldn’t extend any more due to them being fully booked they provided me a free shuttle to another hotel few km’s away. The guy and reception was super friendly and helpful too, and they do amazing pancakes.

Driveway is abit steep when first getting to property, which was no issue for me- maybe like 10-15 metres. But I believe they shuttle you from ferry so not really an issue.

This place could so easily have been 10+ if it wasn't for a few things. The semi outdoor restaurant and the outdoor areas here are so pretty and cozy. Cozy, spacious and comfortable room with a terrace with table and chairs right outside. The room was so well equipped with ALL the usual stuff, but also had a fridge, a huge water dispenser, a kettle, a microwave, a hairdryer and a fan in addition to the Aircon, even a drying rack for clothing on the terrace....and an umbrella. Good water pressure in the shower. Perfect location close to the old dock. Set back from the road so it was quiet at night. They also had singing birds, a turtle, some super friendly dogs and 2 little puppies. Excellent WiFi that worked everywhere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was superb, and they had lots of things you don't easily get elsewhere, like salads and a real burger. The restaurant closes at 7.30pm though, so that's where the self catering comes in handy. There's a small supermarket nearby. In theory a perfect place whether you want total relaxation or being out and about all day. There's also a generator for those inviteable power cuts.

This place is so nice and we'll run, that you really wonder why: The 3 pin plug for the microwave doesn't fit in the 2 pin socket! - I have an adapter. There's a thick fluffy soft blanket on the bed, which I seriously doubt is being washed between each guest! If it was, then it wouldn't have been so fluffy and soft anymore. NO top sheet provided. - I have my own. Need some ant spray by the door. - My feet Mossi spray worked. On Booking.com it clearly said: includes 10% discount on food and drinks in the restaurant. That only happened on afternoon beers. So you are charged according to the menu then, for the rest of the time? NO, once they tried to shortchange me with a lot. So persistent that I had to prove it twice on the calculator. The following day, the same guy tried to blow up the bill with an even larger amount, for then to give 'correct' change back. I didn't eat breakfast there of that reason, as I didn't fancy arguments first thing in the morning.

Staff were lovely Super accommodating Clean and comfortable Good WiFi

Only downside really was the location but they have a Tuk tuk they can call that will be there within 5 minutes
