$223 a night for a small room by the road. Old shower with mould. Room service - none - they just changed the towels. Didn’t make the bed or wash a dish in the sink. Pillows really big and so firm, office closed so we had to sleep on folded towels. No fan or aircon - just unscreened open windows that let the bugs in = lots of bites. No microwave, only an old cook top. Good location near glow worms and beach. But no way is it worth that cost or the 4.5 stars or 9/10 stated. That room was 3 stars. We can’t recommend this place at all.

Such a relaxed place to stay right on the beach. Just across the road from the glow worms and my daughter saw a seal playing in the water at the beach.

Excellent location, just across the street from the glowworm attraction. Restaurants and shops are nearby, making dining very convenient. The room was clean and well maintained, and the kitchen was well equipped. The staff also gave us helpful restaurant recommendations, which made our evening very enjoyable.

The lady at reception, Kym? Gave us a great welcome and we particularly appreciated that when she noticed my wife's walking disabilities, changed the booking so that we had a chalet with a ramp for easy access. In spite of the wet and windy weather, we were snug in a very nicely appointed room.

We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private.

Not directly on beach as there is a privately owned grassy paddock between the units and the beach, but great beach access. Views are very good. Relaxed atmosphere in quiet natural surroundings. Woke up to birds and waves. Recommended.

Disliked: Amenities
The listing promises an ocean view, but it is severely obstructed and basically non existent. Also it is close to the beach but not on the beach. The promised WiFi is a joke, yes you can connect to their WiFi but you have basically NO internet. Forget browsing or streaming. The bed’s mattresses are all overused and need replacement.
