"Fantastic location by the beach. We are from Australia and travelling on bicycles. The staff were friendly and gave us a great welcome which is important to us being long term travellers. We were grateful that our bikes were stored safely too. A special mention to Bradley who solved any issues that we had and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The gym had all the equipment we needed, great ocean views too and we enjoyed our spa treatment. Highly recommend staying here!"
