Great place to stay.
Brilliant setting with a beautiful view of the harbour. Facilities were all modern and well maintained. Roominess was perfectly adequate, bed was comfortable. We generally opt for budget accommodation, but the little extra we paid was very well worth it. Would recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

All good.
A good stay in a good motel in a lovely town. One concern: some people may arrive and find they are placed, not in the building pictured, but across the stream in units that don’t look onto the harbour. Good idea to check.

Lovely setting. Spacious rooms. Good wifi. Tricky faucets to know when actually off & not dripping.

4/10 Fair

Filthy couch
We arrived early but the unit was ready and the receptionist was kind and friendly to let us in straight away. Later my partner felt uncomfortable after sitting in the extremely filthy couch. He developed itchiness and moved away from it. The couch has a dark colour cover on top. We didn’t come back to the lounge again. The bathroom was actually quite clean. We chose the unit with harbour view and the view was indeed beautiful from the lounge and the outdoor sitting. We would definitely recommend to rid of the couch.
