Fabulous little guest house, wonderful welcome from the staff. Beautiful room, super comfy beds. The little touches like cheese and wine in the afternoon and hot cookies in the evening as well as a complimentary soft drink fridge really make this place special.

We had a very comfortable stay, the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the garden and river access. It was an easy walk to the beach. We found the common areas inside very quaint, it felt like an olde worlde Grandmas house.

The room is very dated and the amenities appear placed in an awkward Design. Apart from that, it was super clean and comfortable. The manager was excellent and extremely helpful. I would go back.

Good, clean, basic motel/hotel that offered good value for money. Breakfast and wifi included. Not much more to say except that we would happily stay again.
