2/10 Poor

Highly NOT recommend this hotel to others, $300 for this hotel is extremely not worth, we were assigned the beach room number 3, this room is terrible and extremely dirty and smelly, most of the corner got spider nets and spiders, it obviously didn’t do the housekeeping, toilet board keeps falling to the back when you use the toilet, blackflies are keep flying inside the room freely, we requested to change the room however the male receptionist was so rude and said there’s no one complain before and we are the only one to complain, but I found that there so many peoples complain this hotel, we only stay for one night and we decided to check out very early morning the other day

6/10 Good

The room was spacious and clean but smelt strongly of block disinfectant..and there were lots of spider webs next to the door. I would have appreciated a table and chairs. The sofa provided was a small two seater and not very comfortable. The outlook is lovely. The restaurant happened to be closed and it's a drive into town. The location is pretty but a fair way out of town. we could have seen penguins at 9.30 but didn't as we've seen plenty of them in the past. Overall I feel we were somewhat over charged.

Rooms were old and dated, needs a good revamp. Yard had stuff laying around everywhere. Could be presented a lot nicer than it was. Beautiful beaches. Amazingly to see all the wild life (Penguins, Wallabies, Wombat's and Rabbits)

8/10 Very good

Good location and room was in good condition. We did get to see some penguins at night so that was nice. The biggest negative for us was the tour is a joke. A guy took us down to the platform waited 5 minutes till a penguin appeared and then left us with the torch and that was it. Access to the beach is closed off at night to another penguin tour so you cannot go to the beach at night. This isn't clearly communicated by the staff it should be! If we knew that we might have just gone to Redbill Beach and just did a DIY tour. Plus the tennis court is also a joke if you were interested in having a hit.
