The location is great. The building is old but nicely kept. The last time I was there the restaurant was open and the patrons were Very loud in their farewell to the other diners. So I was very lucky to be there on a night that the restaurant was closed.

Bathroom was outdated and toiletries were not satisfactory. Towels were not pleasant and not large enough. If you want people to pay $$$ you really need to upgrade this property

The property is slightly aged, but well presented and clean. And the main drawcard is the views and close proximity to the harbour, with the lighthouse and beach a small stroll away. Lovely cafe downstairs aswell.

Stopped in for the night to meet a friend for dinner. The walk into town wasn't too bad either. Room was spacious and instant hot water from the shower was unreal.
