This little gem in Wanchese is the perfect location for a small wedding or family gathering. We held our small wedding at the manor, and the studio was the perfect spot for me and the girls to get ready in the morning! It even had a super cute outdoor bathroom. Tim and Laurie were excellent hosts and were immediately available whenever we had a question. Our entire family enjoyed the gorgeous property and also being able to stay here. We are already talking about when we will be returning. Thank you so much for hosting us and being a part of our special day!

The sofa beds were surprisingly comfortable with the memory foam mattresses. The cooling system was efficient and quiet, and the room was clean. The bathroom/shower are adjacent to the room in a private outdoor stall and were fine. Ensure you have the fans on out there to prevent mosquito bites. This bathroom/shower would be uncomfortable during cold days. The location and hosts are both oustanding.

Do not hesitate to rent the studio. First time I slept on a fold out couch bed with memory foam mattress. A comfortable sleep and the outdoor bathroom was wonderful!
