Pros:

Quaint hotel and very clean - the beach and walking path right in front - can't beat it! They also have bikes you can borrow which we highly recommend. Carmel was amazing and gave us lots of great ideas of what to see and where to swim. She was so friendly and really helpful. We highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

The only downside to the location was that the airport is next to the hotel, so if you're a light sleeper, this might be the best sleep. But they do provide earplugs! It didn't keep us awake though.

Great stay
Pros:

Staff were super friendly and accommodated me to have both a early check in (an hour) and a late check-out (2 hours longer).

Rooms were all you can ask for, beautifully decorated.

Little kitchenette was fully stocked with complimentary tea and coffee is always handy.

Loved the beach access, I deliberately stayed here to watch the sunrise, and it was superb.

Particularly happy that the bus runs frequently and the stop is right in front of the hotel, I visited Tugun for a great coffee at Niche and Co and swam at Kirra Beach, which is now a fave spot.

I stayed for one night for work, and will stay here again for pleasure next time!

Cons:

If I would to say something to improve, probably the pressure in the shower wasn't too strong, and musty smell from old pipes, but it didn't bother me and won't stop me from booking here again.
