Lovely winter getaway. The room was so spacious and the kitchen allowed us to save on dinner/breakfast and enjoy the room and pool more. The pool was walk-right-in warm and a huge hit with our tween. The staff was so kind and helpful.

Great resort, lovely views of the harbour and bridge. Very spacious, comfortable beds and plenty of free parking. Lovely staff would stay again. Only possible negative was no standard oven and the usual lack of a kettle which coming from the UK we are used to but we were able to heat water in the microwave so did not miss out on our cuppa!
