Tiny ocean glimpse, but only if you waljed out and looked, not from the lounge room. Location good behind the esplanade and an easy walk through the walkways. Clean, tiny and comfortable. ##### Neville Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MARTIN 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and close to everything ##### MARTIN Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good location, convenient and clean throughout . ##### Matthew Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bart 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities great hotel and spot.
