Great for a couple of nights. Clean and tidy. The heater was great as it was a freezing night and we were nice and warm. Would recommend for a budget friendly option close to everything in Ocean Grove.

Ours was a last minute, overnight stay. When we arrived we found reception extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and modern. Couldn’t hear any traffic. People next door were quite noisy, quite late, but you can experience that anywhere, anytime. Couldn’t ask for better accommodation for the price. We are hoping to stay again in the near future.

Sadly the pool isn't any good, has a hole, if we knew we would have booked somewhere else on a 30deg weekend. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor But the rest of the property and stay was excellent, clean, lovely kept garden, sadly a dirty bbq which we didn't want to clean before use, not owners fault
