We noticed a lot of mould on the curtains and an awful amount of condensation on the windows in the morning. Indicating not great ventilation. The spa was also cold even when the key was given to us to use the spa when we requested it.

Stunning location but rooms not as clean as hoped
Very nice surroundings and loved the look of the restaurant although sadly we missed dinner due to delayed InterIslander ferry. Breakfast was not available unless you pre-book the chef, I guess that’s a winter thing. Room was okay but a bit dirty around the edges, back of sofa cushions etc. Friendly staff. Location is really wonderful.

Spa pool wasn’t available even though it was advertised having one on the site. One reason we pick this place, if we knew we wouldn’t have stayed.

The Motel rooms were very full. This made parking difficult because there are no lines in the lot. Other than that… the room was super! It was a studio with a queen and a single bed. Kitchen had kettle and toaster with fridge and microwave. TV had basic channels but we were ok with that.

Booked a pet friendly studio through Wotif (There we other studios available but they clearly stated not pet friendly), so you can imagine our surprise to being told that there was an extra $20 charge for our dog! Food from restaurant was very nice and the bed was super comfortable. However the unit was very dated, not very clean, the curtains were falling off the rails, amongst other things.
