A little dated, but perfectly fine for our overnight stay. Bed was amazingly comfortable & the fluffy blankets were very nice! Good hot shower too.

THE ROOM IS ENOUGH SIZE FOR MY FAMILY
THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT WE CAN SEE IS THE POWER POINT BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE ROOM

Comfortable and quiet stay in Shoal Bay
We had 3 nights here as as base for the Tomaree Cpastal Walk. Very comfortable, quiet and spacious. It's looking a bit old but it was clean and had a small kitchenette with sufficient equipment for our stay. A few minutes drive to Shoal Bay itself. Had some cheeky feathered visitors in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.

One Night Stay at the Bay
Just a one night stay, accommodation very comfortable and convenient to Wests Club and Little Beach. The club has very good meals at reasonable prices and is a very short walk away.
