We stayed in one of the motel rooms, and we had a refrigerator and a microwave. They provided dishes and silverware for us. It would have been nice to have a sink nearby instead of having to wash dishes in the bathroom. It was nice to have a separate bedroom, and it was comfortable and quiet.

For the cost, the 2BR chalet was poor to fair value. It seemed to lack any recent upgrades with the exception of maybe the mini-split unit. I'm sure they were awesome many years ago, but they are showing their age. While the futon in the sitting area makes some sense for extra sleep space, it is poor sitting for any period of time. This trade-off, in my opionion, was a bad choice.
I thought I reserved a chalet with cooking facilities. I was in a motel room with a microwave and no stove. Only sink was in the bathroom. The room did have some very basic coffee and utensils. The communication is only through online emails and leaving phone messages.
This cabin was very clean!! The private beach access was a great surprise. The beach is beautiful!! Our only complaint would be that the electrical outlets need to be updated. They did not hold our plugs in place very well. Made it difficult to charge our devices. Also there were no USB outlets. Overall a great place to stay with a family.
Great property. The Chalets were spacious and comfortable. Close to the beach. The only problem is lack of communication. We had a problem with check in and when we phoned no one answered. Voice main only and the message said they would get back to us in a day. The problem was solved but there was unnecessary stress. Overall, I would highly recommend this as a place to stay.
The chalet was a great spot for us to stopover on our journey on the Cabot Trail. We had all of the basics and the beach access was a lovely surprise. One thing that would have been great was to have access to a fire pit for a campfire. Otherwise, everything was great.

Absolute fantastic stay last night! Im here visiting from Edmonton and staying with my friend who cleans houses and WOO we were blown away how clean it is! What a cute cozy comfortable cottage. Had red some previous comments about lack of ac, but we stayed in the motel and had an ac unit with a fan and it was nice and cool.
Will definitely stay here again!!

Property was clean but one thing missing that caused us to checkout earlier was the lack of air conditioners which put room up to 30 degrees which was unbearable for sleeping
The cleaning staff were excellent here and very good with communication. The only downfall I would say is that the motel side of things does not have air conditioning so it was very hot and hard to sleep. That being said, the cleaning staff got us an extra fan which did help.
