Verified traveller

Best steak at the hard antler bar great service and friendly staff.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

it was many years since we'd been there and we'd forgotten how remote and isolated it was. We had some difficulty with mobile connections between family members.

3/5 - Okay

Kimdes

Motels near the highway have higher prices as many tourists don’t go any further (Jackson Bay was beautiful with many short walking trails on the way - lots of history also).

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

A very small town with very limited choice for eating. Overpriced small supermarket
