Room disappointed us, it was around the back of the block with no view. The bathroom was very small, there was no table and the kitchen had an esky size fridge. Family rooms appeared spacious, not a suitable place to stay for a couple.

This was a great property to stay at. With excellent views, immediate access to the beach and walkways, and an easy seven minute stroll to shops/dining.
I would gladly stay here again.

Beautiful location. Rooms are styled nicely. Clean and had everything we needed to cook in the room. The accomodation was full on our first night and others around us were noisy but was very quiet on the second night. Will be back!

Close to the sea, we were in room 11 and it had no road noise and was easy walking distance to the town and the pier. Nice and sunny, good parking
