Spatious room, some outdoor space. It was a ground floor room so it was unfortunate that the 'golf view' was obstructed by trees and bushes but this did mean more privacy when outside.

The room was spacious and clean and the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel is well suited to work conferences. or golfing holidays. For the non golfer or conference participant, the hotel offers less. Although there is an excellent indoor pool, its frequent use for kids’ swimming lessons limits guest enjoyment to one lane for significant portions of the day. Nor does the hotel have an indoor lounge or easily accessible outdoor sitting area. But during the summer - with the beach and lovely walks nearby - the hotel serves as a very comfortable base.

The room was spacious and super clean. My only complaint would be to have a small ‘grooming’ kit in the bathroom, like a shower cap, ear cleaners cotton balls or something. I stayed 1 night and it was affordable. I’d definitely stay again for longer as I didn’t get the chance to use the amenities. Getting an uber was also super easy from the location.

Extremely clean, comfy, and quiet stay. The staff were accommodating and amazing with helping to guide around the area. Situated on the course with two restaurants to chose from, a bar, and some kangaroos that roam the greens in the evening. Local to multiple beaches, restaurants, and amenities. Can walk to the beach in 5-10 minutes. Approx a 10 minute drive to anything you need in Torquay. Definitely recommended.
