We had a rather disappointing experience at the accommodation. While the location offered beautiful views and the area was ideal for outdoor activities, the overall condition of the place was unacceptable. The cleanliness was far from satisfactory, and the service left much to be desired. I wouldn't recommend this place unless significant changes are made.

My stay at Alonga Cottages was a blend of touch-and-go moments. The location is truly a paradise, surrounded by fishing spots and beautiful lakes, perfect for a relaxing getaway. On one hand, the cottages were self-contained and comfortable, but on the other hand, I experienced some unsettling behavior from the manager’s son during my visit. Overall, I'd say it has potential, but improvements in management would greatly enhance the experience.

I had a truly amazing experience at Alonga Cottages! From the moment I arrived, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders thanks to the peaceful atmosphere and the kindness of the owner. The cottages are clean and self-contained, making it feel like a home away from home. However, it’s worth noting that I was initially apprehensive after reading mixed reviews, but my experience turned out to be fantastic. The location is beautiful, right by the river, but there were times I wished the service was a touch quicker during peak check-in hours.

Alonga Cottages is situated in a breathtaking location, providing easy access to the beach and local amenities. The owner, Rebecca, goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience, making the stay enjoyable and family-friendly. However, the acoustics in the cabins could use some improvement since it can get quite noisy, and the initial impression of the cottage was slightly basic. Overall, it's a delightful place for a relaxing getaway.
