The property is was quite mature and unfortunately has been left to show this. Room was bigger than average,but the plumbing is very poor in the shower alcove,the water slow to run away,and without urgent maintenance this will become a major issue. Cleaning staff appeared to lack leadership. Price was good given these faults.

The name says ''at the beach''. It is actually 350 metres to the beach and you have to cross the very busy and noisy Bruce Highway on the way. The ''restaurant'' happened to be closed both nights that we were there(a weekend') and all that was on offer was a 4-item meagre take away. Great to have that supermarket across the road though. The first room we were given faced straight across the huge concrete forecourt and into the headlights of the vehicles coming to the liquor driving. We were charged an extra $60 for asking for a room change.

It was fortunate because it was not raining. If it was bad weather, no I don't want to think about it. Kitchen was not for multi weather ready. Most of kitchen facility was discusting. There was no lights above sink too. We supposed to stay 2 nights however we left ther on the 2nd day. Never go back. Paid cheap, simply got cheap stuff. ha ha ha.

It was ok but not super clean. Important areas like toilets shower sink sheets etc all perfectly fine but there was a lot of dust under the bed. Nobody there to greet us. Door ( room 21) did not lock. Parking for this room was not clear. Pool nice but lots of leaves in it
