This is an older building complex, but has excellent comfort and room facilities with a good size lounge room, kitchen and bedroom all very clean and well presented. A family type management was friendly. The location is away from the main part of town, but walkable and could be a positive if you want a quieter stay.

Fantastic location, just a literal skip over the train tracks and you’re on the beach! Everything was pristine in the room, very comfortable. Quick drive into town with tons of shopping and food options. The seal colony nearby was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend the Alpine View for a lovely stay!

Very quiet and well located for supermarket and beach walks. Adjacent to railway line but did not hear any night traffic. Pleasant sheltered garden with BBQ at rear of property was a delight in very hot weather. No heat pump aircon but fan cooler did the trick.
