Almost faultless. Our only disappointment was not being able to get the spa working/heating.

Relaxing getaway with friends
The location was great. Only a short drive to shops and we had our boat tied to the back jetty for the duration of the stay. The boat ramp was around half hr ride with the 4kt limit all the way. Some lose pavers down around the table by the water but otherwise loved our stay. Well appointed accommodation with most things you need

Girls weekend
Great place to stay if you are looking for a water front escape. Beautiful spot to sit on the water and plenty of entertainment if the weather takes a turn
