“position, view can’t be beaten, but needs money spent on it.”
The position of The Moorings was fantastic. A 10 to 15 min walk to town. We were lucky enough to get o e of the harbour view rooms. Even though it was a bit small, the view was awesome. Staff were friendly, helpful but very keen to get you to spend at the property.

“Great location, lovely staff - I would stay again”
I stayed here 3 times while on my holiday. Location is great. Right on the waterfront and only 10 mins walk from the centre. The Tanna plaza just 2 minutes walk in the other direction for good food, and fantastic massage. Rooms were a nice treat in between off grid living. I was lucky to get discounted waterfront rooms which are great but the deck is shared so just be aware. Room are keen, good AC (now that was a treat) and good condition. It is advertised as being sound proof which it is not but in saying that it didn't bother me at all as noise didn't go late. I would definitely stay again. There is a staircase down to the water and considering it is a major harbour the water was clean and clarity great and a great way to watch the sunset. Beer Vouchers at the bar to get happy hour prices all day was good.
