Frequently asked

The things guests ask before they book.

Short answers to the most common questions. For anything else, message us on Airbnb when you book. We'll come back to you the same day.

How close is the sea?
About 50 meters. There's a public path to the sea directly across the road from us, which is rare here. Most beaches involve a longer walk around private properties. Planjka, the main sandy beach, is roughly a 10-minute walk along the seaside promenade.
Is parking included?
Yes. Each apartment gets one free parking spot on the property, in an enclosed area in front of the apartments. If you're coming with two cars, let us know and we'll try to arrange a second spot, but we can't guarantee it.
Can we drink the tap water?
Yes. The tap water is safe to drink straight from the kitchen tap, so there's no need to buy bottled. It's the island's mains supply.
Apartment Romana or Apartment Teja: which should I pick?
Both sleep five guests on four beds with one bathroom, and share the same garden, parking, and amenities. Romana has three bedrooms and is on the ground floor with a porch opening into the garden, and pets are welcome there. Teja has two bedrooms and is on the first floor, reached by stairs, with a terrace looking down into the garden. If you have a pet or want flat access, choose Romana. If you want morning light and a view from above, choose Teja.
Are pets welcome?
Yes, in Apartment Romana, after a quick chat with us. We love pets but we do ask that they're calm and won't damage the property. Pets stay inside the apartment, not on the terrace or in the garden. Apartment Teja does not allow pets, since it's up a flight of stairs.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. Check-in is flexible if you arrive later, just message us on Airbnb so we know when to expect you. There's always one of us here to greet you.
How do we get to Stara Novalja?
By car or taxi. The nearest airport is Zadar, about an hour away by car. The Pag bridge connects the island to the mainland, and there is also a ferry crossing at Žigljen. Once on the island, follow the main coastal road through Novalja and over the small hill to Stara Novalja. We are roughly 800 meters past Planjka beach, on the right side. If sat-nav tries to take you up onto small roads on the hill, please stay on the coastal road instead.
Will it be quiet? I've heard about Zrće.
Yes. We are on the quiet side of Stara Novalja, over the hill from Novalja town. Zrće beach and its clubs are about 10 minutes away by car, but the noise stays there. We do not allow loud parties at the apartments, and quiet hours run from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Families with children come back here year after year for exactly this reason.
How do we reach you from Zadar without a car?
About 13 euro per person from Zadar bus station, or about 18 euro if you're landing at the airport and need the shuttle into town first. That shuttle runs roughly every 45 minutes for around 5 euro, and Antonio Tours carries on to Novalja for about 13 euro with more than ten departures a day in season. Buy that second ticket straight from Antonio Tours rather than a resale app, and hand your suitcase to the driver at the bus so it travels free instead of costing 5 or 6 euro. Our Zadar to Novalja page has a search for the live timetables, and the rest of the detail.

Apt. Romana

From the very beginning, the hosts were always helpful and very kind. The house was perfect for a summer vacation. Perhaps the spaces were a bit small (compared to the photos), but it was still tidy, equipped, and in a great location. Near the sea. Quiet area, suitable for people with small children. The outdoor space is not huge but good for summer dinners outdoors. Indoor parking space. A note of merit goes to the hosts, who were really great. We were sad to leave because it was like home. In short, I highly recommend it.
