8.2/10 Very Good! (631 reviews)

This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,967 reviews)

A easy walk to the harbour, with lots of great spots to see and eat at. Decor is dated and needs a face lift, but the staff was great and the rooms clean
