Easy self check in after hours. Studio we had was an ocean view one which was very clean and roomy with the lounge and sleeping areas separated and not all cramped in a little space. Comfy bed, fluffy towels.The view we had from the lounge and kitchenette area was fantastic with large windows to take it all in and, a small balcony to sit and enjoy it all as well. Small clean pool, not too much shade (it was a very hot day when we used it) but nice. Would stay there again in the same type of room.

Friendly staff at the reception. Room was very clean. Bathroom was clean and updated. Our Oceanview Room had a beautiful view of the water and surrounding area. Very private and well designed room with a balcony. Very well insulated against noise. The carpet was a bit worn but still clean. I think they’re in the process of updating. Overall very happy with our stay to the extent that we stayed an extra night than we first planned. Thank you

We had a studio apartment, nice enough room, a bit dated, no view ( but we knew that) ,usual equipment - dishes, cutlery, toaster, kettle. We found it too far away from the town centre, there's not much there and the beach is not suitable for swimming. The pool wasclosed at 17.00 and had only a few chairs , no sun loungers which was quite disappointing. We ended up driving 20 mins every day to Port Elliott which has a great beach. But for what we paid it was good value.
