Quaint chalet. Would have been nice to have a heater in both bedrooms. The surrounding beach was amazingly beautiful! Seeing the fairy penguins at night was absolutely amazing.

Room was basic but fine. Owner / front desk friendly. Waitress for dinner was friendly and helpful. Food was average and shared areas lacking in any atmosphere and a strong smell of paint. Appreciated the shared guest laundry. Overall was ok for a night on our journey but I would not have stayed for longer. Note this is next door to penguin tour but had to drive back into town to catch shuttle bus so not really a benefit being close by.

We were happy with the unit , very clean and roomy. Lovely out look . Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t operating at the time and very sad we didn’t get to see any penguins but not their fault.

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.

Great location lovely surroundings. I feel the property needs a bit of a revamp. Penguin viewing was a bit disappointing. We are not allowed on the beach after dark which we were not advised when booking accommodation.

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!

No restaurant so had to go back into town, which is a drive, for breakfast. Did have cooking facilities but not worth it for one night. Other than that access to own beach was wonderful and rooms were neat, clean and well maintained.

Property is a hidden gem, rooms not the most modern but very spacious & clean. Lady at check in (Jenny) was lovely & very helpful. Bonus was that we got to see some penguins at night as well, Oliver & Alexandria were wonderful hosts to take us down to see the Penguins.
