Thank you! One question for the owner - we were intrigued by the room downstairs and what you use it for! And almost feel like you should explain for other nosey guests (like us) Thanks again

From the carefully chosen decor that seems to hold secrets of its own, to the meticulously arranged appliances and cutlery, this place feels like a stage set for adventure. It's not just about where you stay; it's about the stories waiting to be discovered within these walls. And when you step outside, lovely walks or heading to the beach, adds another layer to the mystery. In short, 12 Banks Street is a treasure trove of intrigue just waiting to be explored." Thank you Alan and jamielah
