Kelly’s travels
We had the upstairs 2 bedroom apartment. It was a self check in. It was very spacious full lounge and kitchen with great appliances. Full veranda to look straight out onto beach and the water. We had two nights here very relaxing

Loved the closeness to the sea.
Great for children.
Wonderful long stretch of beach for long walks.
The beds were very comfortable and the apartment warm all the time. We could see sea lions and dolphins from our apartment.

Amazing place
An amazing hotel. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony overlooking the sea. Easy straight forward check in. The apartment is so spacious and has everything you need. Fabulous kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Lovely bath and walk in shower. Comfortable beds. You will need to take food with you as no shops nearby. There is a cafe we did not go into it so cannot review. Overall an amazing place would definitely go back.

It was a beautiful quiet location right on the beach. The night sky was fantastic. I’ve never seen so many stars. We didn’t see any dolphins in the bay or penguins at porpoise bay either. We were only there for one night though. Don’t know if it was the time of the year. House was clean. I would go back and would recommend to friends.

A lovely sea view, clean and inviting studio. Heaters throughout ensured we were cosy on a cold night.
Quite good cooking facilities - a hotplate and microwave, but no oven or BBQ facilities.
Prompt communication from the host.
Easy off street parking.
