Beautifully renovated hotel right opposite the beach. My daughter and I really loved our stay. Gorgeous spacious room, king bed was so comfortable. All the staff friendly and helpful. Live music, great atmosphere, beer on tap perfect and screens to watch the footy. Dinner in the Dining room and had the best Scotch Fillet. Definitely go back again!
