Property is conveniently located but has been allowed to get run down over the years. The abandoned restaurant should be torn down due to its unsightly condition. Some tree / shrub trimming would also improve the appearance of the property.

I cannot say enough about the Tidal Bore Inn. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very timely with service. The location is gorgeous, with wonderful views. It is only 4 or 5 minutes from all amenities, and extremely easy to get to, being right off the highway.The room was very clean and comfortable. I would come again any time we are in the area. Definite 5 stars for staff, location, cleanliness, comfort, and price!
