relaxing but needs a facelift

showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.

Always an enjoyable place to stay, including in the colder months when less people stay there. Watching the sun rise over the horizon early morning, is every photographers dream moment. Breakfast in the mornings is a must...the views, the coffee, the eggs Benedict, what a perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be returning many more times...
Nothing like having the pool to yourself.
Early morning magical sun rise.
Smashed avo...done to perfection.
Love this art work of Chalky.

The team were wonderful, friendly helpful and efficient, particularly the waiter who greeted and seated us for dinner and on duty the next morning at breakfast. She was happy and clearly loves her job. Sadly, we didn’t grab her name. We came to unwind and rest but sadly found our room overlooking the pool a little too noisy and lacking privacy. The location is wonderful; however, I feel this hotel is hugely overpriced compared to other hotels in the same bracket.

The staff were great, very kind, and the view/location was amazing. The food was amazing, the car park has plenty of room, and the bar and pool area is fantastic. However, the bathroom was not clean enough, specifically the shower and bath. The room as a whole wasn’t finished to a standard that deserved $1k per night. The lamp shades were stained, the paint of the walls was clearly old and chipped, the wifi router in the top corner of the room flashed a bright light all night, and the outside furniture was old and tatty.
