I absolutely loved the BREAKFAST and that it was included in the overall price! Hands down, one of the best cafe's on the Central Coast. The rooms were super clean and the staff were friendly. Great location on the beach and lots to do walking and hiking up to Crackneck etc. I didn't get a chance to jump in the pool with the poor weather, but it looked amazing. I will definitely be back and I recommend this place to anyone else looking for a night away in Bateau Bay!

Rooms were cute and very comfy. Breakfast was yummy. Only thing I would suggest is to move the air conditioner as it loses its strength aimed at a close wall and maybe put something in front of the room so you aren't looking straight in from the carpark.
