Pros +
- Everything!
- Easy walk to town and ferry. Quiet. Old but clean.
- Cabin 6 - Well equipped kitchenette. Tidy and fresh linen. Nice gardens. Easy and minimal fuss check-in and out. Quiet. Had odourless fly/bug spray - needed to use it.
Cons -
- There are lots of stairs, no elevator and no help with luggage. No screens on windows.
- Cleanliness of shower. Mould on blinds. Not all windows had secure latches to allow for being left open during the day. Ant problem on bench from only having a used lunchbox cover bag out. We had stored food in fridge as saw there were a couple ants on arrival. More night lighting/solar lights needed for stairs that are quite sloped and require focus to walk during daylight. Bath room door handle loose. Big bed soft but moved a lot with co-sleepers movement - almost as bad as a water bed.
- Quite a steep hill to walk up if you don't take the car out but worth it for the views.

Location was great with just a 5/10min down to the waterfront with all the bars and restaurants. View was lovely from your own little cabin with seating area. The cabin was very comfortable with it's own little kitchenette.
Quite a steep hill to walk up if you don't take the car out but worth it for the views.
We liked that the cabin was detached and quiet. Great facilities, best guest laundry.
The location was perfect, as it was very close to all our planned activities. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We would recommend it.
The motel was in an excellent location being only a short walk to the I Site, main ferry wharf, shops and restaurants. The unit was very comfortable and clean with good cooking facilities - we used the BBQ on one day and that worked very well. We also used the laundry facilities twice and they were very good. As with many but not all units, there was not an extract fan, which would have been a benefit.
Wifi was very spotty and I was unable to rely on it for business internet calls. I had to use my phone's hotspot.
Lovely setting, quiet and perfect! Cooking facilities a bonus
Nothing!
Water views, washing lines, everything you could need, private, functional, comfortable, easy.
Be prepared to carry your gear up quite a few steps
Spacious good value accommodation, central location within easy walking distance of cafes, restaurants & shops
Some cabins had steep access, so not suitable for us
A very comfortable large room with a useful kitchen nook and sitting area. Very short walk to the centre, stores, restaurants and i site
N / A
Nail heads sticking up on wooden walkway bay bad for bear feet
The unit was quirky, the bed was comfy and it had outdoor seating which is good, also the shower was super powerful and there were reasonable cooking facilities
just felt a bit dated and unloved
Location is perfect for town, lovely cabins, comfy beds, everything in kitchen that is needed
it cant be changed but the walk up to the cabin was steep, all good for the youngens but you wouldnt want to have to do more than 1 trip from your car
The view was amazing and the location very quiet and close to everything. Room was small but ok for a short stay.Staff very helpful carrying our luggage up the stairs for us.
could have been a bit bigger and although didn't affect us this time the steps may have been a deterrent if staying longer.
The unit was clean and comfortable. Large bathroom with great water pressure. Prive deck with sub tropical feel. We'll equipped.
Proximity to town amenities( an easy walk), yet quiet surroundings. Excellent host.
A bit of a steep walk to the upper cabins , but the sea views improved the higher you ent.
The location, the layout of the cabins, clean and tidy!Nothing really to fault. The hosts were lovely, and allowed us to checkin a little early.
That I couldnt stay longer! ...
Great location near beach front, peaceful setting nestled upon a hill side, couldn’t want for more
Very cute self contained cabin, perfectly appointed and very clean. Sunny deck for outdoor breakfast and pre-dinner drinks, what’s not to like?!
