The Avis has 9 twin/double-bedded cabins, all with private shower and toilet facilities, an air-conditioned dining room and bar, as well as a lovely 33 metre long deck for relaxing in the open air. Group size is normally limited to a maximum of 9 people for rods but can accommodate more if friends travel together and share cabins.
