Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Room small but good value for money. all facilities. Very clean , good bed and newly tiled shower with wonderful pressure and hot water. Breakfast included with tariff was minimal, cereals, toast , canned fruit. Yoghurt No coffee except for freeze dried sachets . No hot food and no staff in attendance at breakfast. Food on terrace/ bar mediocre and pricy. Drinks expensive. A handle of pilsener and a steinlager zero for $26 All in all a bit disappointing . A great location which with a little more effort/ good management could be good.

Oh my goodness, I wish I could leave a 10 star rating for this property. It might not be the fanciest (but is still very beautiful), but the level of hospitality is incredible, as are the view from the rooms. I booked accommodation for my 83 year old parents who were going on a nostalgic road trip, and the people working at the hotel have been so amazing.; they have gone so far and beyond in providing mum and dad with a a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!

The rooms are very tiny and in need of refurbishment, although the small bathroom was more up to date. The whole hotel has a run down look to it. Our deck outside our room had wild bush growing over it, which made it unusable, and also blocked out all light from outside. At dinner my fish was very dry and was probably double cooked. However, the bar was very well stocked with quality beers and wines, and the young woman serving me poured the perfect beer.

Wonderful location overlooking harbour. Outside needed painting and a general tidyup. Friendly, efficient check-in. Lovely room with the harbour view. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. This hotel could do better. Food and service were lovely, especially the lamb on the spit night. Bar staff were pleasant and it was a public bar so was quite busy. Only a road seperates the hotel from the sea and there is some traffic noise at times. A nice stay.

The only good thing about this place is the location. We paid nearly $100 for 3 meals and a drink each and the food was disgusting: the steak needed a chainsaw, the burger buns were cold and the chips were also not even warm. In fact, there were some chips completely overdone and other barely cooked, so we suspect some of them were "re-used". The waiter just shrugged when we complained. It was not that busy and it still took a long time for the food to come. i don't mind waiting for good food, but this was an utter waste of money. Very disappointed and will NOT be going back (we don't live too far away).

We only stayed one night but the rooms were lovely. We stayed in the main hotel and our room was at the front and overlooked the sea, marvellous view! We ate in the bar, food was good but service was slow however it didn't detract from a lovely evening. I would happily stay here again

Great food, great setting, looks newly renovated but at the same time an ‘old fashioned pub’. Pristine toilets and friendly staff ! Have been several times and always different but always good. Seems to be a favourite destination of tourists and locals alike. We just ate here, haven’t seen the rooms….

We stayed a few days. We really enjoyed ourselves. The bar staff where lovely. The view was amazing. The food wasn't to bad. But when we woke one morning we could here the cleaning lady. She was very rude. We could here her swearing. Saying she didn't care about the guests if they could hear her. We popped out for some breakfast and we could hear her swearing to herself. An then yelled finally when she seen us leave. It was a big let down. Would stay again but up in the units next time.
