10/10 Excellent
"We loved the friendly and helpful welcome we received, and the beautifully furnished, spacious and immaculately clean 2 bedroom unit we stayed in. Beds - great! Lovely linen and comfy - firm beds but not hard. 2 toilets much appreciated. Kitchen was excellent and reasonably well equipped- a couple of suggestions here though - microwave, sitting on top of rangehood is well above safe height of 1250-1350 off floor and I'd suggest remounting on the wall. Also no bowl of any sort for a salad or microwaving ( if you could reach it!). During our 3 day stay we did cook a little. Bathroom underfloor heating didn't seem to be on and tiles were cold. No handrail etc for climbing into shower over bath. With 2 bedrooms/ 1 bathroom and 1 foggy bathroom mirror , another mirror and/or essential full length mirror somewhere would be hugely helpful. Being downstairs by stairs was noisy at times, but that's unavoidable in this style of motel, as are the extremely narrow parks for medium size SUV's. These are tiny things though, in general I'd definitely recommend Newina and would stay again."

"The view from the room was spectacular. Walked along the shore right from our room. Room was clean had many useful amenities. The “heated pool” was ice cold. The jacuzzi as barely warm enough to get in. The staff at the check in desk were fantastic. The staff in the dining room were very condescending."
