A welcoming hotel to stay at!

An amazing stay for the whole family. The owners really took their time to make us feel welcome and helped us with everything we needed. The fact that they bought a new flag since no one from Sweden been there before just to feel us welcomed says it all! A friendly hotel that wants you to enjoy your stay, what else can you look for? We are already trying to make plans to visit again.

We had a great weekend get away with our dog at whitesand. The hotel manager was lovely and very helpful. Finding a great place that is also pet friendly is great and we will book again on our future adventures. Amazing beach right on your door step for long walks and swims or to launch your boat for a fish. Perfect.

Lovely spot, beautiful views and easy beach access. Very quiet. Very roomy. Plenty of parking. Lacked kitchen utensils and there were no lids for pots. Knowing in advance that there were no grocery shops or dining options would have been nice (I didn't see this at time of booking, but we were told when arriving). Owners were lovely and communitive.

Loved the location, the owners, the shower and the comfy beds!!! Have previously visited this place for a wedding and came back willingly. My only real downfall is that the wifi (which I paid for) dropped in and out quite frequently. Everything else was great

Good location to beach but note, no seaview from apartment 2. Leaking near window when it rains hard. Water tasted weird even after boiling. Water didn’t work on 2/4 of the days we were there.

Most enjoyable holiday ever.

What a spot!! Right next to the beach and ramp. Beautiful white sands and safe family friendly swimming. Some of the best fishing spots in the country on your doorstep. Most hospitable motel hosts ever. Cannot rate them highly enough. One of our best holidays ever and look we forward to a return sometime soon!!
