Beautiful Historic Building & Room, with lovely views of the beach
Pros:

Price and location were excellent. Room was very clean, and view of the ocean was magical.

Cons:

Walls are thin so you can hear your neighbours clearly... And the doors are close together so it often sounded like someone opening my door instead of the door next door.

Convenient location and comfortable rooms. Good value for the price and staff are fantastic.
Pros:

The location is excellent and the view from the rooms with balconies very nice. It is a historic building and interesting but winding down as it is about to undergo a major renovation.

Cons:

It was a shame that the restaurant and bar are no longer open due to future changes. The car park is pretty average if its been raining - but again it is in a holding pattern until they close it for major renovations and building next year.

Truly disgusting, filthy and unsafe.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Heritage listed and will be knocked down in Feb 2027. Mattress is also heritage listed. The restaurant is permanently closed from May 2026. It’s dirty and old. Disgusting 🤮. Remove it from booking. Com
