The hotel managers were very helpful and friendly and helped with an easy check-in and checkout process. The location of the hotel is fantastic not far from the boat ramp and other attractions and within walking distance to nearby Tavern fish and chips and other shops on hand. The kitchen was well equipped despite not having an oven. There was a cooktop a frying pan and all the utensils that you require and there are a variety of eating out options nearby. The LAUNDRY was well equipped and very suitable for a small family to be comfortable.
