We enjoyed the location, the clean room, and the friendly staff, especially the guy at the pantry shop and the bartender. It did get very noisy and didn’t like the fact we had to pay for internet. Every other place we have stayed has been free. Other than those complaints, we do enjoy our stay

We had the very best time. From the moment we were greeted at reception, our beautiful room, the view was amazing, our surprise bottle of bubbles for our wedding anniversary, our delicious breakfast and the late check out. We couldn’t have had a better stay. Highly recommend Loved our room 1004

A great hotel right by the ocean. Has several restaurants on the ground floor and neighbouring for plenty of dining options. The room was clean and well appointed. It had a nice balcony over looking the ocean. People do seem to feed the native birds it seems, so expect visitors if you go to sit outside. The bar/ restaurant at reception was a nice surprise. Friendly staff and a good menu with a great drinks selection. Friday and Saturday nights they had solo acoustic musicians playing that added a great atmosphere. The beach is across the road with lifesavers if you want to go swimming and a popular walking spot too.
