"A clean and basic homestay, with wonderful views of the sea from a lovely terrace restaurant. The hosts are very kind and helpful, and the homemade food is delicious! The beach is right infront of the property, and the "I love Harnai" sign and seating area, erected by the owner Muzzamil, adds to the atmosphere."
