Pros:

Location is fantastic. Rooms have been updated (studio) and the bathrooms were amazing!

Cons:

Maybe you could uddate the pillows. Mine were very uncomfortable. Your decking could also do with a revamp as the timber is looking weatherd.
The noise that comes from the patrons downstairs is vey loud!!! Maybe midnight cap on opening as patrons want to sleep.

Pros:

The room was huge and opened on to the balcony. Bed comfortable and snacks with the breakfast box was great.

Cons:

Unfortunately room 10 is above the Poker machine lounge which could clearly be heard...even with ear plugs. The poker machine venue opens at 10am and closes at 1am.

Chilled and very “homey”
Pros:

Access to local restaurants, bars and cafes plus boutique shopping was ideal. We loved sitting in the outdoor area having a beer and watching the world go about its business. The staff were very helpful and kind, especially Jodie.

Cons:

Would have loved a bigger bed, the bed felt small for the suite..

I would recommend this hotel

Cons:

Room lacked a full length mirror which would have been appreciated.
