So, please take an extra couple of seconds to put things in the correct bin so they can help divert as much waste from going to landfill as possible.

Almost anything made of glass can be recycled, so make sure you put items like glass bottles and jars in the right bin and do not recycle broken glass or light bulbs. Anything that does not feature a recycling label must be put in the refuse bin. Other items that are not recyclable include: batteries, electrical appliances, kitchen waste, polystyrene, foam and sanitary products.

It's really amazing the way they have maintained the building and also, they are very alert to their student’s pleas which was really great to know especially as a student who is not native to the place. Thanks to them the settling-in process got a whole lot easier for me.

Jonquil Z

5.0

The staff here are very nice, they are very responsive and always solve problems quickly. The house is very suitable for living alone; there is enough storage space, and the microwave, refrigerator, and stove will be checked for problems before moving in. During the period, staff will come to inquire and check the room facilities. It is very close to the two business districts, about ten minutes away, and fifteen minutes to the beach. All good, soft mattress, very safe, privacy and plenty of activities to do. Overall, if you're looking for value-for-money accommodation, this is a good choice.
