The location was fantastic, we booked a Harbourside Suite. Super friendly staff. Amid COVID19 management the staff were fastidious, the hotel was immaculate. We will stay again and recommend to anyone wanting a stop over or weekend by the water.

Loved the water view and balcony-great for fresh air. I believe the hotel only has 3 x twin bed rooms-my son and I were travelling together so we had to have a sofa made up as a bed. Would have preferred more twin rooms.
