Had waterview room that was very comfortable. Balcony overlooked the bay and room was quite large and bathroom updated and had all amenities. There was undercover secure parking and a lovely club just across the road that was zero dollars to join and receive discounts of drinks etc. Had an excellent meal there and 2 second across the road back to the hotel. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying at Batemans Bay. Can't beat it.

The location is great, however, you can't use the verandah from dusk until dawn. Instead of sitting outside watching the harbour/river inlet at dusk and night, you must go inside and close the blockout curtains as the very, very, very bright lights illuminating the Esplanade signage are oppresively bright on the verandahs and stay on until dawn. The shower needs some silicon as the plummer and tiler have channeled the water around the drain to the centre of the bathroom (genius).
