We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The views are stunning. You can hear the waves, see some wildlife. It was a great base for us to visit surrounding places with a comfy bed & spa bath to return from our adventures. Great facilities to cook up a meal & relax in the lounge room. We’ll be back!

Property is a hidden gem, rooms not the most modern but very spacious & clean. Lady at check in (Jenny) was lovely & very helpful. Bonus was that we got to see some penguins at night as well, Oliver & Alexandria were wonderful hosts to take us down to see the Penguins.

We were happy with the unit , very clean and roomy. Lovely out look . Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t operating at the time and very sad we didn’t get to see any penguins but not their fault.

Beautiful spot

Beautiful spot, good size appartments with great view on to sea, pinguin spotting every night…you might get lucky. The only thing that i find a bit sad that there is only a very smal 2 seater sofa, no chair. Would be nice to have a bit more comfort to sit and watch the sea.

No restaurant so had to go back into town, which is a drive, for breakfast. Did have cooking facilities but not worth it for one night. Other than that access to own beach was wonderful and rooms were neat, clean and well maintained.
