The door had no lock only the insect screen locked which is not safe. The lamp had an electrical short which is dangerous. The lights went didn’t seem to care about any of this at all. I would never stay here again.

Great location

This hotel offers great location. 100m to great beach and a 2 minute walk in to Main Street all with the convenience of onsite parking. Room was a good size with all the normal appliances expected. On site pool was nice with bbq if required. I really liked the look of the outside of the hotel which was of a manor style. Would highly recommend this property.
