"We have stayed at the Mariner a few times now as our half way stop over between Brisbane and Jervis Bay and never fails to disappoint. We are often travelling late, where I’ve had to ring to organise a late check-in and have spoken with Craig and he is lovely and very helpful. The room has always been very clean. The bed very comfortable and the shower nice and hot, what more could you ask for. We will continue to stay here on our future travels, as we are rest assured with peace of mind and a comfortable stay."

"This unit would have been perfect for us and our dogs, except for one thing. There are three steps up from the living room to the bedroom and bathroom, and no hand rail. For older people like us, this was a hazard. Not a problem for the young and fit, but a bit dangerous for those of advanced years."
