Wonderful getaway

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.

Good location but hygiene needs improvement

Pros: - unbeatable location - the aircon in the room was very quiet - bed and pillows were comfortable Cons: - many areas were quite dirty - big cockroaches in the car park and also inside the washrooms in the hotel lobby - housekeeping removed our hand towel on the second day without replacing it, and put a used towel back on top of the folded ‘clean’ pile of towels - the room was quite dirty and a wiping the bathroom counter top and other surfaces turned the tissues grey with dirt and dust - room curtains did not really block out the light, and had several holes in the fabric - car park was a bit tight to get in and out of, and whilst the parking fee was listed on the website as $35/night, it was actually $39/night upon license plate registration
