The location was perfect - especially if you're planning an Albatross or Dolphin Encounter. Nice to be right across from the beach too. Decently clean and comfortable, owners were very friendly.

Jo was very friendly and welcoming. Stayed 2 nights. Excellent location. 2nd night had a very noisy family next door, kids banging doors, banging on walls & yelling. Unfortunately I guess that's what you may strike during school holidays. C'est la vie!
Other than that a very enjoyable stay

Great location across from the waterfront. Friendly owners. Quiet at night. Nice amenities provided. However it is well worn and the refrigerator was dirty. But I would stay there again.
