My stay at Alumbung Cottages was truly special, thanks to its unique charm and cozy atmosphere. Although the location is a bit away from the main beach, the short walk made it feel more peaceful. While I enjoyed the homey feel of the native huts, the noise from nearby roosters and planes could be a bit disruptive at night.
