It was a budget room 404 with a shower over a bath. You had to step over the bath to shower without a rail to hang onto. Then you showered on a rather slippery floor. Lastly, getting out means lifting one leg high to step over the side. All your weight is on the other foot, with nothing to hang onto and there is only a slippery wet surface supporting all your weight.

Our room had two queen beds. Everything was clean and the heater was on as we arrived. Although the room was simple it had everything we needed for our stay. The only downside is how loud the music and people are from the pub.

It was ok nice hotel with a stunning sea view. Location was good easy parking within the hotel area. The hotel got no lift, if you have big luggages and being arrange to stay in the upper floor congrats you just won yourself some free basic shaolin kung fu training. Pray hard you got no rude hotets room neighbors, the soundproof was bad and we have 2 nights with some rude user next to our room keep banging their doors every 10 or 15mins when they are in the room. ** please take note that the hotel to Penguin Parade is between 15 to 20 mins drive. However, beside the above we enjoyed our stay there and if we are going back again we will consider staying there again..

Location on foreshore was ideal for exploring local area. The room was a described and the bed really comfortable also. The shower pressure and warmth was fantastic also. The only downside was there a full on dance party/event going on in close proxity to our room that weekend. It was intense up to 12:30 with little soundproofing. We didn't complain and these things happen, not doubt it affected many others staying there too. However the room and facilities where as described, and once it quieted down we had a great rest

Everything was okay except cleanliness of the room. We found ants and bugs on the sheets. Sheets were not cleaned properly. Looks like it wasn’t even changed. Also people were drinking outside their rooms in public areas even though it says no drinking or partying. Just a review and won’t be returning. Thank you

We were in the bay view room, low level. The room was filled with sand. All night we could hear people running around in the upstairs rooms, or coming up and down the metal steps which was just next to our room. There was yelling and fights going on outside from 12-530am. The room itself has minimal facilities, no table to eat off, nor any chairs or couch to sit on. Our family of 4 had to all sit on the bed to watch tv. Disappointing.
