We booked this hotel based on its good review, despite only the attic room was available. The attic room has very low ceiling on the 3 sides of the room so my husband bumped his head a few times - not sure if this low ceiling is allowed under relevant government regulations. The worst part was the hotel WIFI - the WIFI was erratic and there was no mobile phone 4G reception. We ended up going to sleep early as there wasn't anything we could do.

Really loved the front counter guy but the hotel itself is dated, run down and in need of a good clean, paint, update. The food was good at the restaurant but you serve yourself. The beach has a lot of erosion and the grassy area has a lot of ant hills . The view is pretty . We didn’t like that they charge for even a bottle of water in your fridge and there’s no coffee for the machine , however the staff fellow did our laundry which was above and beyond. We tipped well for that. I think we liked it because of him honestly but wouldn’t really recommend this property otherwise as it looks much better online than in person

Beautiful designed hotel room, quality finishes and materials with a balcony view. Continental breakfast in the morning earliest is 7.30am. Needs to be earlier this is a major traffic area. But what really let it down was the Dinner service & bar area at 6-8pm. There was no events on & the area was quiet all afternoon with a pleasant atmosphere. But then they invited all the feral monkeys (families with kids) from the Caravan park next door. The space was flooded with these yobs as they ate cheap Pizza from the stupid food truck they deliberately allowed there, why not hold this on your Caravan site??? They are NOT PAID GUESTS! This shouldn't be allowed they did not pay!!! I'm not interested in returning they just suck up to next doors Caravan knob heads for extra $$$ thats not what a 4 star boutique hotel does

The lady on the front desk, I think her name was Ashley, was warm, welcoming and so helpful. The hotel and room were beautiful. Dinner from the pizza van, sitting on the lawn with a band playing and the children able to run around, watching the sunset and finishing with waffles was a highlight. Would definitely recommend and gladly stay again!
