7 / 10Good·Nov 2026
Parking in front
Tavern was noisy
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2026
Cleaning staff did a good job, but they also interacted with us, like they weren't just there to do a job, they were making us feel relaxed and welcome and also checked if we required anything extra. Bar manager was very friendly and helpful to us and all the other patrons as well.
Nothing we didn't like but did not have a sink in our particular kitchenette. Also thought it would've been nice to have had like an outdoor BBQ area.
9 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2026
Great room, nice and clean. Has everything you need. Nice bed, hot shower and a mini kitchen area. It also has a great sports bar attached to it which has good food drinks and a little pokies. It's not directly in the center of town but an easy 10 minute walk along the shoreline to the center where all shops and other restaurants are located. I had no car and had no issues getting around town, super easy!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2026
Location was good
A few things seemed scrimped on - no nice coffee provided no sharp knife to cut my tomato no sink in kitchen - don’t like filling jug in bathroom
