We found the king bed tended to tip the person on the side nearest the wall out to the side, as its two singles pushed together basically. Noisy in terms of other guests opening and closing doors and talking. A can, or similar, was being blown around in the wind and bouncing off walls - perhaps more care needs to be taken to secure loose objects when strong winds are likely.

OK but in need of an update.

Hotel is in a good location. Room was spacious but the whole place is in desperate need of a makeover.

Sadly, the whole 4 nights we were there, our beds were never made. After 3 days I had to ask for some clean towels. The shower around the bottom of the walls to the floor could do with some bleach and a good clean. Loved the location and meals were awesome

Very dated. Stayed on the ground floor and curtains had to be drawn all the time because cars were just parked outside. Already paid during booking but I was charged again on the day of check in. Did not get my money back till many days later which was a bummer as it was a debit card. Only given 1 small tube of shampoo and body lotion in the bathroom for 2 people staying 2 nights. I only realised at 7.30pm when reception and IGA were already closed. Asked the bar staff for help and he rummaged through a drawer at the reception table and managed to find body wash and conditioner. However the items had all expired in 2022 but we didn’t have a choice. The second day we were still not given shower amenities even though our towels had been changed. WiFi was also extremely slow and weak.

Solo senior, overnight stay after week at Steep Point, departing flight to Perth next day. Twin room, spotless, well appointed, equipped and that used worked well. Staff permitted half hour early check in, which was excellent to have a warm, non salt water shower! Comfortable bed, quiet and efficient aircon in large room, no outside noise. Requested a longer stay in room past normal check out time due to 4.00pm flight departure, this was also granted, which further improved the experience. To management and staff, well done and many thanks. B
