Property information

Ocean View was started in 1978 as a home stay. There was only few places at that time for the back packers to stay. We had a great Ocean View at that time because there was no any buildings on the beach those days. Now we have Ocean View from our roof terrace. Now we have got 13 rooms and all are renovated recently to modern standards ,all of them have attached bathrooms with hot and cold water showers. We have got WiFi for free for house guests. We are specialized in organizing inbound tours as well. We do airport pick ups and drops 24 hours.
