“Relaxing, fun in great accommodation”
Location was perfect. Walk to the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. The room was fabulous. Very spacious as was the bathroom. Very clean and comfortable. No carpet which is a bonus for me. Lovely outside area to sit under cover. Felt very private. Complimentary coffee, water and fruit was a lovely touch. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff. We extended our stay and they made sure we could stay in the same room. It was so relaxing that we didn't want to leave.

“Just an amazing, relaxing, comfortable stay. So much so we didn't want to leave!”
Room was very spacious, very clean, bright & fresh. No carpet! Carpet in hotels is a big no for me. Huge bed. Generous bathroom. Lovely reception area. Great shared outdoor space which was sheltered. A stones throw from the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. It was in a word Perfect. Could not rate it highly enough. Staff were exceptional and in true Aussie style very friendly. The free coffee, fruit and water is a lovely much appreciated touch.
