Hi there, the staff managing The Caledonian Inn were friendly and welcoming. The accomodation was clean and modernised with onsite parking close to the local cafes, restaurants, hotels and the Loop walk leading to the Lighthouse and the surrounding Shearwaters Colony. A great experience. Thank you

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was comfortable and fairly clean, and the central location on Main Street was very convenient. The only issue was the noise at night due to the bar and restaurant—loud music and crowds until around 12–1 AM. It might have been worse because we visited during Easter.
