6/10 Good

Disappointing - poor value

Disappointing. Its a lovely homestead and the apartments are good. However, it is advertised as a resort and falls short of my expectations of a resort. The description was misleading as there were no dining facilities available including no breakfast. The only resort type item was the price. Had that been adjusted for the reduced service/facilities then I would have been satisfied with my stay. I would like to visit when the "resort" is in full swing.

Great low rise hotel with bay views.

Great views from the bay side of the hotel. Great food in the resturant. The room was newly painted with new carpet, the bath was dated.

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!
