Was cheaper than other motel/hotel stays and clean
It was noisy outside of my room at night and early in the morning. If anyone decided to stay do not get a room at the back of the building too noisy.

This place is ridiculously overpriced. It should be $120 -150 a night . It has a lot of potential, but it seems the owners could not care less. I know one couple left soon after arrival. There are a number of cottages nearby to stay in which offer better value
The restaurant below is in fact very good and even has live entertainment

Two Nights Bday Weekend
This was a bday couples weekend for us and we stayed in room 7. At check in, the TV was not operational and there was no cold water in the shower. This was our first ever scalding hot shower at a hotel. Our concerns were discussed with Michelle who was responsible for the front desk and was very empathic and diligent about getting the issues resolved. However, the shower needs to be renovated as well as the plumbing. The room is small with a comfortable king bed and the AC works and we were grateful for this. The cost for this hotel is over priced. It’s not worth it.

Shameful accommodation
Shabby reception area. No one at desk . Room very small, dirty, peeling wall paper, filthy window ridges with one glass pane completely missing and damaged heating equipped. No coffee as advertised. No one to report to when we left 2 nights early.

A short walk to the main beach and also to main street shopping. Large mature trees provides shade on hot summer days. Duffy's Fish and Chips Restaurant on-site has a good menu and excellent food.
