"We enjoyed our stay Reception staff were welcoming Room was a good size with comfortable king size bed and pillows. Very close restaurants and pubs. A walk along the break wall is a must to view all the large hand painted rocks Only negative is the shower was hard to regulate and there was air in the pipes so very noisy at times"

8/10 Good
"We had a very good and straightforward overnight stay while travelling to Sydney with our family. We arrived around midnight, but arranged check-in by phone beforehand, and our key card was left securely in a lockbox at the front of the property. The process was simple and convenient. Our room was on level two, with a balcony facing the street and a busy roundabout. The view was nothing special, but this did not bother us given that we arrived late and left early the following morning. Checking out was equally easy, as we left the key card in the designated box. The secure parking was easy to access, and we had no difficulty finding a space. The location was convenient, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was an easy and pleasant experience for a short overnight stay. Five out of five."
