"Pleasant stay from start to finish. Room was clean and in good condition. The staff was cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was extremely appreciated. The Belgian waffle machines were especially great to have so there was no need to go out every morning to a restaurant. Being right on the beach was awesome."

"Jason on reception was very helpful and guest friendly. Loved the amenities and being on the beach. Breakfast, wine social and cookies were awesome.....things like these really made our stay that bit more special. Room was clean and well decorated. Our only "room for improvement" would be that due to the humidity ( i realise its the beach in summer) but the room did smell very moldy and the wall behind the air conditioner was soft and caving. The outdoor pool could have been vacuumed out to since there was a lot of sand in it. These small things would not stop me staying here again as the pluses outweighed the minuses."

"It was a clean place to stay with comfy beds for a last minute weekend trip. Love the location! Easy check-in/check-out. The soap dispensers didn’t work and there is no filtered water but tap was ok for the short term. Overall good little beach place…would stay again!"

10/10 Excellent
"I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this room is. I booked it because it's right on the beach. It was so nice to walk up a set of stairs and be there. I didn't expect a stove or coffee pot in the rooms. But there was also charcoal for a community grill. We never really saw any staff, but all the info we needed was sent by email. The beds were small, but clean and comfortable. The numbered parking stalls were nice, too. I would highly recommend this place for an economical room on the beach."
