Lipson Holidays from AU$1,024

I would say this hotel does the job, though it's very bare bones. I'm a very low maintenance traveler but the room smelled like rotten fish, the smell was coming from the bathroom. Other reviews stated the carpet is old which I wouldn't care about, but it's also disgusting and deeply stained. I bought slides to wear inside the room because I did not want my feet or socks to touch the floor. The bed was comfortable though the duvet had no duvet cover, just 2 sheets on each side and so the duvet kept slipping out. This wouldn't have been an issue except that the duvet insert was disgusting and stained brown, yellow, with red streaks. I was very cold at night because I didn't want the sheet to slip and have me touch that duvet so I didn't use it. It is a very convenient location and the staff are friendly and helpful. I didn't use the restaurant so I can't speak to that. There is a noise policy stating no noise on balconies after 10pm, yet the bar/night club downstairs plays loud music well into the night (after midnight most nights I stayed and on my last night which was a Friday night the music was still going at 4am). It was very difficult to sleep. Overall I think with some fairly easy updates this hotel can be much improved, and it was affordable and again the staff and location were lovely, but just the hygiene made me queasy.

We’ve stayed for 3 nights. This place is very quiet and serene. It’s meant for those who want to be off grid. We had cloudy nights unfortunately, and unable to experience the stars at night. However, the place requires to improve more on cleaning all windows, hood extractors, shelves, under the bed, ceiling fan in the lounge, dead insects caught in cobwebs. Bed linen, mattress protector, pillow cases were worn out. Strongly advise to buy a new set of bed linens, pillow cases and mattress protector. No power points on either side of the bed, even though it’s off grid, we still need to charge smart watches (since there’s no clock around the house) and other electrical gadgets on bedside tables. use), and I hope that I’m not asking for too much for a dress mirror? As the only mirror in the house is in the bathroom. If other guests are not fuss about the cleanliness, it’s a great place for them to stay. For us, we much prefer to return at the other accommodation that we have stayed for 2 nights, which was off grid as well. Sorry Heidi. No hard feelings.

Room was cleaned daily and maintained very well. Close to all beach and all amenities.

Room was clean and presentable. Staff was friendly and helpful.
