Staff were lovely. Facilities were pretty basic but price was cheap, so good value if you’re looking by for a place that won’t break the bank. Very handy to town.

You were told to report back later but did not and your room was waiting although we were closed because we were all having a well-deserved day off. We decided to come back from the beach and make your room available. A sad result all round

We were informed at check-in that karaoke in the bar underneath was 9 pm to 2 am. Our room was directly above the garden bar and we were kept awake all night. This room should’ve been heavily discounted and only available for booking with prior knowledge. Bar staff were friendly at check-in. Room was dated but clean. Felt more like a backpackers than a hotel.

So sorry your stay was not to your liking, our web site does mention Karaoke so guests are pre informed. All pub accommodation is attached to busy bars which are quite often open late, ours is extremely busy, and our rooms are fully booked most weeks

OMG !! I wouldn't have minded if it was cheap it was not $150 per night, and I may as well set my bed up in the pub that was underneath, the noise was horrendous, and to describe the walls as paper thin would have been an exaggeration of thickness......Having said that all the staff I met were really great :)
