The staff were wonderful. We were late in arriving but staff made the check-in process smooth and easy. We were in unit 1 which has a view of the bay and a wonderful outside sitting area with a bbq. Linens were nice and beds comfortable. The heat pump worked well when we needed air conditioning or heat. The staff were very helpful during an unusual heavy rainfall event to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed. We would stay again if we are back in the area. Hot water beach and Cathedral Cove are within easy driving distance.

Why a little dated we were blown away by the awesome amenities and great service. The rooms had everything we needed including a Weber bbq and great air con. The young couple that checked us in were really attentive and offered beach towels, spades for hot water beach etc as well as great advice on places to eat drink and swim.
