Kanuhura

We stayed at the Kanuhura for 9 nights end of Nov/early Dec 2005. We had previously stayed twice at the Hilton which is lovely but would say that Kanuhura is a notch or 2 above although our visits to the Hilton were prior to its major refurb.

This is what dreams are made of!

When i was there, there was a good pool and a small "library" with Internet access for those who cant keep away!
