Stunning views. This hotel is in an outstanding position of natural beauty. The buildings fit naturally into the environment.

Great location (only thing to be aware is that some units not on beachfront, i.e. other side of road with easy access via tunnel under road.) My suggestion is for the resort to relook at replacing beds - both beds in room were uncomfortable and lacking support. Suggest they are past their 'use by' date..

Spectacular views. Pancake rocks and blow hole less than 5 minutes drive. All in all, a lovely spot and I would visit again.

Nice and close to the beach, weather really set the tone for the holiday. My only concern was that the holiday room was on the lower level and the flooring was light. You could hear every step above when they other holiday stayers moved about their unit.

Wait staff poor. Staff on bar inexperienced, but good helpful. Food not up to standard and over priced.

Fantastic views, my daughter was more fascinated with the foam on the beach immediately in front of our room that with the actual blow holes. Parking near rooms is first come, first served and there's only about a third the number of parks as rooms. If you're a late arrival, be prepared to have to carry your luggage quite a long way from the foreshore parking. Only real downside was that we had booked a room with two beds, but on arrival found they'd checked us into a room with only a single king-size bed. Even though the staff member on-desk confirmed we had booked for two beds, she treated us like the issue was all our fault.
