Beachview Inn

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is all about location, perfect. The accommodation run by a lovely couple who can’t do enough for you. We came from England for our son’s wedding and found the property small but adequate. It has everything you should need. Bed was comfortable. Thank you to the managers for making this a memorable trip."
