Good sized apartment with comfy beds. Straight across the road from the beach. Needed to be on the balcony to see the ocean being tucked in the corner at furtherest end of motels but weather was nice so we did get to use this. Well equipped kitchen. Beware of ants - bench covered in the time it took for us to eat our dinner. Luckily we brought all our food in a chilly bin so used that to keep our food in. Staff were quick to bring any spray when asked. The bath had pubic hairs in it when we arrived so obviously had not been cleaned between visitors. Owner apologised the following day as they had been on a day off which was appreciated.

We were a little disappointed with our stay here. We booked the “economy room” which was the lowest category, but didn’t realise this meant that our room would be right next to reception and look out immediately onto a wall on one side and someone else’s house on the other. It also meant we had two apartments above us and the staircase to these next to our bedroom. We had a family with young children sharing the two apartments above and they were screaming and running back and forth until 1am and I had to ask them to stop. They started again at 7am. The accommodation itself is very basic and a bit tired and outdated. The pillow case on the bed was marked and there were cracks in the tiles in the bathroom. There were also very few surfaces to put our items and nowhere to hang any clothes. The TV was very small and the internet was unacceptably bad - to the point that our devices wouldn’t even connect. The location was a good 15 minute walk from the town and restaurants and not as centrally located as we had hoped. The only positives were the staff who seemed friendly and nice.

Room disappointed us, it was around the back of the block with no view. The bathroom was very small, there was no table and the kitchen had an esky size fridge. Family rooms appeared spacious, not a suitable place to stay for a couple.

Like: nice unit with generous supply of cooking and dinning kit. Dislike: no extraction in shower room, and wallpaper (?) peeling above shower. No curtains in bedrooms - blinds don't cut it either in evening or morning!

We enjoyed our stay which was right opposite the water. The kitchen was ver usable. The location was excellent and we were able to walk to many places.

The property was clean, and nicely decorated, the pots were small and pan had seen better days. I had a reservation for Oceanview ground floor and I ended up with a partial view second floor, I’m not sure why the discrepancy in the reservation, we were just told that’s all they had. Grateful that they had a room, could’ve been worse.
