Company info

Hi! I'm Florence, a hobby chef with over 30 years experience of cooking for family and friends and the owner and manager of Papaya Holiday Home. We all enjoy our work at the Papaya, and it is a humbling experience not just to be awarded high marks but also to be appreciated for doing our job. Our guests are very complimentary of our cooking, our bright spacious rooms and our "far more anchored and relaxed feel" as seen from Reviews on TripAdvisor. We love to see guests coming through our doors, and it is our pleasure to offer the best hospitality we possibly can.

Property info

We’ve recently extended, renovated and redecorated our family home offering our guests surely the cleanest, most spacious sun-drenched rooms and friendly proffessional service.

Neighborhood info

While the location is not right in the centre of town, it is closely located to a strip of sprawling garden-setting restaurants, offering a wide range of food choices and a very relaxed experience (ranging from Italian, to Eritrean, Indian etc).
