    The room was huge, the location is excellent, high level of comfort with breakfast delivered to our lounge room. Very friendly, helpful hosts. The bed is very comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud.

    Everything. The breakfast was superb and extra in room refreshments were spot on. The location could not have been better being just a 5 minute stroll from the harbour and the restaurants. Our room ticked all of the boxes. Nothing
