Carol
Rest & Rise is a cosy guest suite situated in the upper Hayfields area. It is in close proximity to the shopping centres and also very close to the N3, if needing a place to reside for a night or two. It is comfortable and safe and would certainly suit business people or anyone needing comfortable accommodation. It is also close to the Liberty Mall and the city centre. It is very tranquil and pretty and has a lovely view over part of PMB in the evening.
I enjoy people and feel that each person I meet adds value to my life experience and knowledge. I would love to travel more and feel as though people coming to my home, is as if I am gaining knowledge about people, more places and cultures. I would like guests to leave feeling relaxed and happy.
Rest & Rise is very well located as it is a short drive down to the Mill's Spar which has a lovely Fish takeaway called Three Vikings and of course Roman's Pizza, or to the Hayfields Pick n' Pay where there is a lovely Woolworth's Foodies, Wimpy, and a couple of restaurants. The neighbourhood is restful and attractive and offers a lovely view over part of PMB in the evening. The location is also close to all medical facilities.
