relaxing but needs a facelift

showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.

Always an enjoyable place to stay, including in the colder months when less people stay there. Watching the sun rise over the horizon early morning, is every photographers dream moment. Breakfast in the mornings is a must...the views, the coffee, the eggs Benedict, what a perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be returning many more times...
Nothing like having the pool to yourself.
Early morning magical sun rise.
Smashed avo...done to perfection.

The team were wonderful, friendly helpful and efficient, particularly the waiter who greeted and seated us for dinner and on duty the next morning at breakfast. She was happy and clearly loves her job. Sadly, we didn’t grab her name. We came to unwind and rest but sadly found our room overlooking the pool a little too noisy and lacking privacy. The location is wonderful; however, I feel this hotel is hugely overpriced compared to other hotels in the same bracket.

The staff were great, very kind, and the view/location was amazing. The food was amazing, the car park has plenty of room, and the bar and pool area is fantastic. However, the bathroom was not clean enough, specifically the shower and bath. The room as a whole wasn’t finished to a standard that deserved $1k per night. The lamp shades were stained, the paint of the walls was clearly old and chipped, the wifi router in the top corner of the room flashed a bright light all night, and the outside furniture was old and tatty.

Replace the bed !!!

Not first time we have stayed here. But now property is tired. Still nice but major renovation works needed like replacing spa, glass balcony doors and some external timber. Inside carpets have been wet and the smell was definitely present. Bed was very saggy and sadly uncomfortable. Location is fantastic Restaurant is really good (we found mid week better than the busier Friday night). Unfortunately this venue is used by unruly hens parties which is never pleasant for anyone else. Overall we enjoyed mid week night when property was quieter and better organised than weekend.

Amazing view, sound of the ocean to fall asleep to was incredible. Room is a bit dated, needs better upkeep. Bathroom was nice enough but you need extra towels to wipe the floor after showering so you’re not getting the toilet wet. Also had someone else’s hair all over the floor and walls so was not cleaned properly. The porta cot for our 7 week old baby was atrocious, we had to go into Ulladulla and buy one as we didn’t bring ours from home because $1700 for our two night stay at a luxury hotel we thought their porta cot would be sufficient enough.

The location is beautiful as it’s right on the water. I was unable to order room service at 7pm as the app wouldn’t let me and the room service menu didn’t have a lot of options. The room service breakfast was delicious though
