Big room with updated on suite. Looking out over disused roof space for below hotel/pub facilities but better this way as no noise to speak of if you were positioned overlooking the main road out front. Very clean. Good comfortable queen bed. Only a short walk to the main beach and great breakfast at the local surf lifesaving club at the main beach. No hotel parking but plenty of angled parking across the road. Police station next door so I would not expect drunken behaviour during the night.

Property is very well located and staff nice. However, a number of issues need to be addressed. The bathroom/toilet door would not close and in a small room this was not very nice. Window to outside (beside the bed) would not close and noise outside was awful.... Friday night until 1.30ish and Saturday night yelling continued until around 2.30 am. Hot water was barely hot. Overall disappointing despite lovely location.
