Appreciate the Pet-friendly policy but the furniture just way too big for the small space. Out of proportion. The shower is so small that I couldn’t turn around in the shower.

We stopped for one night on our road trip from Sydney to Melbourne. The property is perfectly geared for weddings, but worked well for our purpose. Charming, nice views from the balconies, modern rooms. Would not hesitate to recommend.

This property was amazing! So tranquil and relaxing. The only complaint I have is no one was there to check us in for a late arrival. After a long drive we had to call the number posted on the door and wait for someone to drive to us and let us in. But the property made up for it! I would definitely stay again.

A luxurious accommodation for a reasonable price. We had ocean views from the top floor. Rooms had a feeling of luxury. Hotel is located within its own borders, we had dinner at the restaurant and walked around the area without needing to go to Eden. We stayed for 1 night.

The location is beautiful and the view from the room was uninterrupted of the bay water. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only “disappointment” was the dinner dining. I was expecting something more elegant and special considering the cost of the rooms. We chose to eat outside- it was a gorgeous summer evening- and we had to order at the bar, get a buzzer and then go and pick up our food. If we had chosen to eat inside we would’ve still had to order at the bar but they would have brought the food to our table. The dining room inside didn’t have a great vibe or elegant feel to it that’s why we opted for outside.

The historic Seahorse Inn was a good stop on our road trip. We'd expected lodging and dining that was a bit more upscale for the price, but it was more than adequate and the location with an extensive beach is excellent. Note that upstairs room have no soundproofing, so you'll hear people in the restaurant and bar below at the back amd people in the lobby at the front until later in the evening.

Great location and facilities. However, while most of the staff were lovely, a guy called Shannon must have awards for being passive aggressive. All smiles and unpleasantness combined.
