Rest and Restaurnt
This came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The staff worked very hard. The rooms are spacious with direct access to outside. It has a great restaurant at the property that even the locals come to. It was a short distance to the Ferry. Ideal for comfortable & convenient stay.

Ok so they gave my room away and then had to scramble to get me a room which was #4
Not a good room. No hot water in shower, bed is lopsided and it’s a very tiny room but it was clean inside
The fan is very dirty and stinks it needs a good cleaning
But the restaurant is amazing
Really good food and reasonable prices the staff were awesome! It’s the restaurant that saved this place. We would eat there again.

Beware of Room 4. Although the room was clean it is a renovated garage. Way too small and actually felt like staying in a garage. Not sure what the other rooms look like but stay away from this room. Would think twice about staying here again.
