Lovely, simple, clean rooms with a gorgeous outlook to the pools. Our four year old would have stayed in the awesome pool area our entire trip if allowed! Easy walk across the road to beautiful pathways on the waterfront, and to a family friendly bar/pizza place. Very quick drive to the centre of town.

Spacious, comfortable very well appointed unit. Very comfortable bed. Swimming pool looked very inviting. Will bring my togs next time. Free for all parking was a downer as we had to stumble in the dark from the roadside to our unit. Not good for an elderly couple.

We had a last minute booking and arrived late in the evening The owners are welcoming. They also turned the heater on in the room. So after coming back from the hospital it was a quiet and warm space we needed. It was comfortable though we did not get to use any facilities as we had to rush to another hospital but the kindness shown was truly heart warming in stressful times. So thank you again. And looking forward to enjoying our stay next time.
