Disappointed as I had thought I’d booked a nice night away with my husband… turned out it is an emergency accommodation provider .
I’m not a snob and don’t judge people but they should have disclosed this when booking
At 300/night I was expecting something nice and romantic … there were kids and families everywhere. I would suggest they include this in their booking information.

Disliked: Staff & service
We were informed that some rooms were tenanted for social housing. Thought that it will be ok but turned out to be a bad idea. People from nearby room were fighting at the middle of the night so hard to sleep. No heating inside the main bedroom. To top it all off a big drama played out on the last night- one of the lady owners threw a tantrum, crying and shouting out in the street in front of our room as partner seems to be leaving her. A lot of drama for a week we wanted to spend trying to relax.

Great location to beach and local bars . Traffic noise at night noisey due to being on state highway.
It is dated and not appealing to stay at. Our coach was tattered and torn. One of the beds was comfortable and one was not. There were spider webs around the doors so needs a thorough cleaning.
