Great over night stop

On road trip down south so wanted good place to stop to sleep and break the journey. This was a great choice and right on the beach. The owners were just delightful and made us welcome on every way. Some good eating spots close by. Definitely one to recommend and return back too.

We booked the Executive Room, very well appointed, exceptionally clean. The balcony was amazing, overlooking the beach. The owners were very friendly and helpful, guiding us the best places to see, and restaurants etc. to eat at. We would highly recommend this little gem. Well worth the stop over.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
View of water was not beach front but at sde. Curtains in the room were mouldy. Room had no window except in bathroom which was so tiny - only a metre wide. Door to room opened onto verandah also approx a metre wide and people walked past to get to the front to see the view so no privacy at all. Would have been better off in a caravan - go to Beachcomber where rooms do face the water!!
