Simple room with basic storage. Small but adequate bathroom. Shower is rain shower head only. Tissues not supplied. One towel was badly stained with makeup and the other was quite threadbare with a hole in it. Staff were polite and apologetic. Entirely adequate and suitable accommodation in a central location.

Room was clean. Building is modern and very convenient in the middle of town. Near the train station and short walk to the harbour and blowhole. However room had only small balcony opening into interior light well so no view of anything. Fridge had no freezer compartment so couldn’t freeze bricks for esky. Two person room but only has one chair so second person has to sit on the bed. On the plus side, they let us plug in our EV in the car park.

Under expectations because we had a kitchen but no table and chairs to sit at if we cooked a meal. Outside balcony also with no table and chairs. Very limited hanging space. Car park very tight.
