Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s all in the views
There are only motels here so we drove past this one on the way to see where the ferry’s leave. Was right on the main road but had full views of the bay. We got ground floor Room 1 and was great. Sat outside and watched the world go by along with the cars which was the only issue. Bed a bit small and soft for our liking but bathroom, kitchen and seating area all good sizes. You do pay for the view!

Very clean and tidy with great views. Wi-Fi a bit intermittent sometimes. Parking bays very small. Very little room to get out (if you could) if another car parked next to you. Definitely would stay here again.

Room was generally clean however our bed had remnants of chocolate in the bed as if the sheets hadnt been changed which but the tile we discovered it (after 11) we were too tired to address the issue. Disappointing.

Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

Was very disappointed to have a unit half looking at the bank/trees and only half at the view. We always got a full view before! Specifically booked here for that reason. Also car parking a long way from unit. Probably wouldn’t go there again, even though we have been so many times before, so disappointing 😞

8/10 Very good

Very helpful staff. Everything clean and of good standard, very comfortable king bed. Minuses: access to wardrobe and drawers in the bedroom limited due to close proximity of the bed. Access to microwave inconvenient due to its positioning (sideway) in a corner of the kitchenette.

Unfortunately our room was not available for the first night and the owners did not resolve the issue to our satisfaction. In fact at check out one was particularly dismissive and rude.

11 hour stay
Got in very late so was grateful we could do a late check in over the phone and the key was left out for us. Unit was clean and comfortable for our overnight stay. Expensive for what we needed so wouldn’t stay there again.
