From the brilliant welcome received at reception with their professional and friendly attitude, our overnight stay was amazing and deserving of five stars. The tasteful decor was wonderful and the beds were perfect for a great night’s sleep. We did not require a ‘room with a view’ yet could see the boats moored in the marina. Easily comparable with any first-class accommodation we have ever experienced.

Amazing little spot. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even about motorcycles which is a passion of mine. Room is clean, modern with excellent views. I stayed at a second flood and still had great views. Very relaxing for a single night stop over. Will consider it in summer for longer breaks. Thank you

From the moment we were greeted we felt welcome, the staff are lovely and very professional. This property has been renovated to a very high standard, I don’t think there are many properties that meet this standard. Modern, chilled and luxurious with a pool and surrounds that cannot be beaten. Simply beautiful and worth a visit. We will be back for sure. If you remember this old gem in its past , you must see this glow up !! Absolutely stunning. Many dining options are a short walk away. The natural bay is gorgeous and just a short walk. Drive 5 minutes to Shoal Bay also worth a visit for its crystal clear waters and white sands, dolphins and natural vistas are abundant.

Newly reopened after a major renovation and redesign so very clean and fresh. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Room was excellent with everything brand new. Only let down was the ‘stunning’ pool was not heated, so was too cold for me to enjoy, which was a big disappointment. Would definitely return once the pool is heated.
