Good spot, but rooms are dated, 1 single power point in kitchenette, no usb outlets Toaster was dirty, all the vents were blocked with dust, obviously not cleaned since day installed. The "free" bottles of water supplied in the fridge had been partially drank. We were not impressed

Absolutely loved this place! Did a spontaneous stop over on our way home from Sydney and what a beautiful surprise. Check-in was easy, low-key place but stunning inside and what a spot. Our room on the first floor looked like we had the entire ocean to ourselves. Beautiful big spa bath with louvered windows. Restaurant downstairs was closed because it was Sunday night but the menu looked amazing. Away from the busy part of the Entrance but still walking distance. A bus stop just up behind the hotel. Walking to the beach takes one minute! In the morning I got up and walked down to the ocean for a swim which was only a couple of minutes walk. Beaches and ocean baths were wonderful, room style and cleanliness was excellent. Large private veranda was great. Shannon at check-in was lovely to deal with and David in the restaurant was very helpful and friendly. Comfortable bed, extra blankets and delightful to go to sleep and wake up to waves outside. We will definitely come back and hopefully have dinner at that lovely restaurant! Only faults - doors closing in other rooms woke us a few times and a young lady at the restaurant was not so friendly - she'd obviously had a long day. But overall I highly recommend this place and look forward to another visit.
