The room could have been great and value for money but it was filthy. The mirror was smeared with something, there was a pile of clothes left in the room from the last guests, the walkway outside looked like someone had vomitted and it had only been partially cleaned. Breakfast options on weekends are limited.

Great stay, fabulous staff.

Although a little way out of the main part of the town, we would definitely stay here again. We arrived 3 hours before the check in time and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. They said they would get our room ready first, and that is exactly what they did. Within 15 mins of arriving we were in our room, which meant we could leave our luggage and go out exploring. All staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. It was peaceful sitting on the balcony and you couldn’t hear people in any of the other rooms which was a bonus. The room had a kitchenette, was very clean and comfortable. Thanks to the staff for making us feel very welcome.

Good location and very close to the beach. I used the walking track for my evening runs to the riverfront and back. The rooms are well appointed however you can see signs of wear and tear. The room was quite dark however opening up the curtain all the way makes a difference. If you have a neighbour who smokes, then opeing the back sliding door is not a good idea. There were landscaping works going on in the back which was mildly distracting. The WiFi is horrendous and if you're travelling for business like me and need a stable WiFi connection, this is not the place to stay. Management could easily add more network points. Mobile reception is also quite poor in the area. I was only given one key which is needed to turn the power to the room on. At night time, this becomes an inconvenience as it is pitch dark in the room and difficult to find your way around.
