Clean well appointed unit with excellent set out for a family or travel companions. Bedrooms divided by the bathroom enclosure gives privacy to each party. The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant meal/setting was reasonably priced and good quality. A favorite accommodation on the East Coast.

Perfect location for Maria island as the ferry leaves from here. Well priced you get what you pay for but we weren’t wanting room cleaning each day we were there and it isn’t available Washing machine available free to use.The only trouble with this was there were no driers or clothes horses to dry your clothes so I ended up rigging up a line using strimmer cord slung between clothes hooks and a door handle and clothes pegs bought at the local AGA. Ingenious I thought 🤗 If they don’t have a drier a clothes horse would have been useful we have had them at other locations
