We stayed here this week and it is a great spot.. Very nice views of the ocean and Muttonbird Island..Heaps of restaurants within walking distance. The room, pool and the BBQ areas where all good and the hotel is very clean and well looked after..we will be back for sure. More

We enjoyed a three night stay here recently. Everything we needed while not luxurious a lovey clean apartment close to resturants and cafes. The harbour area and beach in easy walking distance.good value for the price. More

We had a 4 night stay during peak time - January school holidays. Most places will only take a booking for 1 week during this period. Rates were VERY reasonable. The apartment was roomy, clean, fresh and had great views. All provided linen was fresh and crisp and we were given new towels after 2 nights. All the kitchen plates,... More

The train station was just across the road, but the trains were very quiet (and in fact kept my husband entertained as his inner-train-gumby surfaced, watching the... More

Despite being beside the train station it is amazingly quiet and a very relaxing stop off if, like us, you’re driving along the east coast. There is ample parking both onsite and on the street outside. Be careful if... More
