Our one-bedroom sea view unit was a bit dated, but clean. Nice to have almost new fridge/freezer, microwave and full oven, plus an efficient heat-pump/air conditioner. Unfortunately our two-night stay was curtailed by one night as there was confusion regarding pets being allowed in the unit, so you need to check all necessary info before making a reservation. Care was needed using the wooden stairs leading up to the unit when wet, they were quite slippery.

The airconditioning is a new feature in our rooms, making it cozy in winter and cool in summer. Unfortunately these customers thought it was their right to put a dog all over our bedding so they got upset when I requested they take the dog off our beds also we did not allow it in room. We allow pets on leads but customers need to respect our premises and our rules. The gentleman was lovely to deal with and very obliging.

Great view. The facilities were very basic and it was hard to get warm.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We have had heatpumps installed this week, which we are sure will make our rooms toasty. The view is fantastic.

I was hoping you noticed the filtered water on offer in camp kitchen. I believe our camp kitchen is well stocked and ready to use. We keep things clean daily. Yes we are taking it seriously we need to improve.

Thankyou for reviewing our 2 bedroom units, they are quite generous size, we are happy how they accommodate our guests. We do provide rails for stairs and suggest everyone take care.

Was a nice big room and so close to the beach. Bit disappointed to come back from the beach before leaving to find there was no water for a shower but otherwise a great stay.

Glad you enjoyed your one night stay. The water issue was a one off issue and one of those never planned occurences. Thank you for sharing your review.

We have the most magical sunsets and days on such a beautiful beach. Those seaview motels give such a point of difference to enjoy the beach. Thank you for sharing.

Very sorry your time with us was lacking. We have new managers and cleaners at our Park now and work very hard to keep to high standards. Very glad location was on point.

Quiet and close to the beach
Very close to beach and shop. Friendly atmosphere. We were cold at night, no spare blankets or pillows. Our wheelchair could not fit into the bathroom/toilet area. It was nice and quiet and staff were very friendly and helpful. Driveway not finished and so mud was brought into the unit from the wheelchair.

Hi Donna, thank you for your review and feedback. The Park re-opened in December 2017 and we continuing to upgrade the units and facilities, including the roadways and power points. We will be adapting some units for wheelchair access so hope you can visit us again when all the work is completed. If you need any spare blankets etc, please let us know at the time so we can supply them for you.

Great view from room
We stayed in upstairs apartment which had an excellent view of the beach. Basic facilities and no styling but clean and functional for our overnight stay. Tv blocks part of the window which is a shame and no ice cubes or coat hangers but everything else was great. would definitively come back.

Nous avons pris une cabine pour une seule nuit lors de notre Roadtrip moto, les environs sont extrêmement beaux, dans un endroit du bout du monde, pour info les sanitaires sont sommaires ainsi que la cabine mais cet un endroit pour se poser avec un camping car self contained
