Peninsula Beachside Accommodation
The room was clean but car park too small to fit my car. Also gate was very noisy and should be oiled to prevent this.

RACV Cape Schanck Resort
Room spotless, entire property well tended. Wished that pizza restaurant would not close at 4pm Bar staff not attentive to service; we had to insist repeatedly to get attention although at least 5 employees behind the bar.
