We were greeted by a very helpful and friendly staff. She let us know what restaurants and shopping was in the area. The room was clean and bright and had everything that you could want. The beach and the cafes was only a 5 minute walk.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Not a bad spot, short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The manager was friendly. Included parking. Room was comfortable enough with decent amenities and mostly clean. I felt a bit overpriced but it is holiday season. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but 1 night was okay.
We were at the front on the left which must have once been part of the managers living space.
The way curtains were set up over the sliding door on the right made it difficult to get in and out the door (no access to the other sliding door on left)
Big spa bath but the jets didn’t seem very clean and not great water pressure so we didn’t use it (I’m not a spa person anyway)
Great to see a microwave & a toaster! Don't get those in rooms too often these days.

Friendly staff, clean rooms. We stayed in the room with the spa. The room was nice, a bit outdated and the bathroom could do with a reno but for the price, it was fantastic.

Staff are so wonderfully friendly. Recommend staying here but fear doing that would make it harder to stay there again because they will always be booked out. Great location. Tidy rooms. Definitely will stay here again.
