Front-Row Setting to Peace and Tranquility.
Pros:

Peaceful position to sit back, relax and enjoy the view and listen to the waves. We had dinner on site and the steak was cooked to perfection. The complimentary continental breakfast was an unexpected bonus with fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast and pastries and the perfect coffee to start the day.

Cons:

Knocking our heads on the ceiling; if the bed was placed away from the wall just a little bit most of the knocks wouldn't have happened. We knew we were going to be in a loft style room so that was alright but the placement of things could have been better thought out, eg not placing the kettle in the corner to encourage you to bump your head.

A couple of minor nuicances but on the whole a pleasant stay.
Pros:

Location...historical aspects of the inn and locale are very interesting.

Restaurant was good. Local fish of the day is the go.

Cons:

Wifi cut out.

We had an elevated villa and the wind actually moved the entire structure when it blew under the subfloor.

A spacious villa in a beautiful and peaceful location.
Pros:

We had a very nice meal in the restaurant in the evening. Beautiful private beach just a few steps from our villa.
Good and easy parking. Nice to have separate shower, toilet and washbasin. Well-equipped kitchen.

Cons:

There was no heating in the bedrooms and it wasn't very warm late evening or early morning. It's a very beautiful, but rather isolated location with no shops or restaurants (apart from the hotel restaurant) anywhere near.

This villa was wonderfully private with a unique vibe
Pros:

This villa was wonderfully private with a unique vibe. The building and room were lovely, very comfortable, and the bathroom was modern. Having dinner and breakfast on-site was convenient, as there’s nothing nearby. I would definitely come back again!

Great place for any type of holiday- from camping to luxury hotel accomodation
Pros:

We love this property, have loved it for nearly 50 years - from a rough camping ground in the 70’s to a newly developed camp with great amenities plus the beautiful villas and beautifully renovated Inn.
And the beaches are stunning and the history interesting!

Cons:

Poteva andare meglio
Pros:

Bella struttura centrale con servizi e camere ma, purtroppo, noi siamo stati alloggiati in struttura limitrofa tipo bungalow da campeggio

Cons:

Siamo stati alloggiati in un bungalow nuovo e ben attrezzato ma esposto al vento ed al freddo. Non risulta chiaro nella prenotazione questo problema.

The Seahorse is a wonderful gem on the far south coast.
Pros:

The main hotel is in a beautifully restored building in a wonderful setting very close to the beach.

Cons:

Small quibbles were the slow wifi and inadequate kitchen utensils: on the latter, there was a microwave but no microwave-ready bowls and nothing beyond basic table cutlery. The on site restaurant was good but it would have been nice to have the option of cooking something ourselves one evening.

Review from Virginia, US.
Pros:

We stayed two nights at the Seahorse on our Australian vacation during a road trip from Sydney to Melbourne. We found it exactly as described and they surpassed our expectations. Terrific location only a few miles outside of Eden, friendly and helpful staff, clean and well appointed room, great restaurant, interesting area to explore with some history to it. What's not to like? Thanks for the great stay!
