We had such a lovely stay, despite getting in really late due to a cancelled ferry. Staff were nice, the bed was so comfy and the views over the harbour and town were amazing. We will definitely be staying again!

A quaint property walkable to the small town centre. We had nice views of the harbor and the room was spacious, but I wish there were better soap and shampoos included. Overall, a good place to rest for a night.

The property was well maintained and clean. We stayed one night before hiking the Queen Charlotte Track. It was an easy walk to the harbor to catch the water taxi. A good choice to make. I'd do it again.
